GREEN SCENES
Through April 5 WOW GALA Instead of a one night in-person event, this gala for Childsplay has become an online campaign of passion. Patrons can enjoy an online medley of sights, sound and solidarity from the comfort of their own homes. An auction features items such as a night out, jewelry, and artwork. There is a raffle for a chance to win a stocked 30-bottle wine cooler. Raffle tickets are $50 each or $100 for three tickets. The winner will be announced on Monday, April 6. Participants can also take part in a wine pull where they purchase a mystery wine bottle for $25, but bottles can be valued up to $200.

April 13 THE BUSINESS CASE FOR ONEPLANET PROSPERITY Schneider Electric and Global Footprint teamed up and created a place for oneplanet compatible companies to learn new green strategies in 2019. These companies are those whose goods and services contribute to humanity’s ability to live within the means of planet Earth. On April 13 at 3 p.m EDT, these companies have the opportunity to work together, assess company strategies, and make sure they are using the planet resources to be the most successful possible. The American Sustainable Business Council advises participants to come to the webinar prepared with questions relevant to their business.

Due to the rapid spread of COVID-19, the EarthX festival was cancelled, but the Earth Day celebration will be continued online.

These webinars are a great way to learn about the environmental challenges the Earth is currently experiencing. Originally, the expo also included a film festival, but it was moved into the fall at the EarthXGlobal Gala. The EarthXLaw and EarthXEnergy’s Responsible Energy Acquisition conferences will also be held live in the fall. The 50th Anniversary Earth Day Celebration will be live-streamed on April 22.
