Earth Day 2010 and City Paper Lean and Green Cocktail Creation Contest
Earth Day is upon us, and that means it’s time to get tipsy! It’s actually time to clean up the city, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun celebrating the planet. The City Paper has deemed April the “Month of Green” and tonight they’re holding the first annual Lean and Green Cocktail Contest in celebration of Earth Day.
The event is at Seviche tapas bar on Penn Ave in the Cultural District of Downtown. They will be serving specialty cocktails and complimentary local, sustainable organic food samplings. Yes, free food from 7:30pm to 10:30pm!
If you actually want to make yourself useful for Earth Day, you can meet up with other Pittsburghers and pick-up the trash thrown around by local litterers… Check out of some of the Pick It Up PA events for April or click here for the full schedule.
One more thing, the City of Champions has been selected as the North American host city by the United Nations Environment Programme to join World Environment Day 2010 (June 5th). There is a survey going around to gauge Pittsburgh’s environmental attitudes and behaviors. It takes two minutes so take the survey!
