Kick off Earth Day with a healthy serving of hope and optimism. Join several environmental non-profits for a series of six-minute TED Talk-style stories all about local, replicable and successful ways to save the planet.
Stories range from how to build a wildlife habitat in your yard, figuring out the bus system and how to use trees to bring a neighborhood together.
This event is now virtual! We ask that you register in advance to get the web link and join us from 8-9 a.m.!

Earth Day CLT: Takeout and a Tree!
2020-04-23 | NC
Looking to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day in a big way, Charlotte? During Earth Week, TreesCharlotte is partnering with a variety of local restaurants and breweries to give away free seedlings when you pick up takeout from their curbside/call-ahead services!
These young trees are all natives, and they can’t wait to find that perfect spot in your yard to grow, add shade, provide wildlife habitat, clean the air and water and bring you decades of happiness!
We are especially excited to partner with local restaurants and breweries. By getting a seedling, you are both adding canopy to Charlotte, as well as supporting the CLT economy.
The seedling giveaways begin April 20 and will continue until inventory runs out.
