Green Chamber of the South Partners with EarthShare of Georgia for The 40th Anniversary of Earth Day

For the fortieth anniversary of the first Earth Day in 1970, the Green Chamber of the South is partnering with EarthShare of Georgia to promote Three Key events in 2010 that encourage environmental stewardship to leaders from the business world and the community at large. The EarthShare of Georgia Earth Day 2010 events are presented by Kaiser Permanente.

1. This year's Corporate Green Day Challenge, on Saturday, April 17, 2010, 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m., presented by Kaiser Permanente, allows employers in both the public and private sector to show their true color (green) by matching employee teams to community environmental projects.

More than 700 volunteers participated in the 2009 Corporate Green Day Challenge at 27 locations throughout Atlanta and beyond! These corporate volunteers exchanged their suits for work boots and garden gloves, to clean up parks, pull privet and clean streams. All participants must be employees of Earth Day 2010 Sponsor Companies.
