When Evanston signed the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement in 2006, it joined hundreds of other American cities that have pledged to ‘meet or beat’ the Kyoto Protocol by reducing GHG emissions to 7% below 1990 levels by 2012.

Citizens for a Greener Evanston (CGE) arts and culture task force. If you are unfamiliar with CGE, it is a non-profit organization made up community members working to reduce Evanston's carbon footprint.  The CGE Cultural Task Force is very excited to be planning its first event: Artists for a Greener Evanston. Through a showcase of Evanston "green" artists, CGE hopes to bring attention to Evanston's climate action plan and to promote community involvement.

The first night will play host to an opening reception while the second night will add family-oriented activities.  The showcase is sponsored by Citizens for a Greener Evanston.
