Carbon Nation Celebration August 10, 2010

The City of Chicago will host a Carbon Nation Celebration to celebrate the power of every-day climate change solutions for families, businesses and citizens. 

The event will include:

- Performances by comedian Hal Sparks and the Happiness Club
- Family activities and exhibits from the Museum of Science and industry
- Celebrity appearances on the green carpet by the star of SHREK THE MUSICAL from Broadway In Chicago
- Inspirational speeches from the Chicago Department of Environment and director of Carbon Nation
- The Chicago premiere and free screening of Peter Byck’s Carbon Nation film

The Celebration is free and open to the public. This event is to celebrate the city’s commitment to environmental leadership and tackling climate change. In 2008, the city launched the Chicago Climate Action Plan, which focuses on five major strategies—from energy efficient buildings and renewable energy to transportation, waste pollution and adaptation—to reduce Chicago’s greenhouse emissions 25 percent by 2020.
