MEC Earth Day Event

April 20, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm CDT

For Earth Day 2019, join MEC to explore the everyday ways you can lead a more sustainable lifestyle and become a responsible steward of our earth. From the cars we drive, to the resources we use in our homes and gardens, to the food we eat – living sustainably is truly about making thoughtful choices in our daily lives. And MEC would like to showcase just how easy (and cheap) it can be!

Stop by our historic Project Living Proof eco-friendly demo home to:

-Learn more about cultivating sustainable fruit and vegetable gardens, and take a tour of the Project Living Proof grounds by Master Gardeners of Greater Kansas City.

-Roam through Project Living Proof to chat with local organizations that will be tabling to provide education about ways you can make greener lifestyle choices.

-Enjoy delicious and sustainable plant-based burgers and brats, courtesy of VegLife KC.

-Discover the ease and affordability of switching to a hybrid or zero-emission electric car by test driving a LEAF or Tesla courtesy of Mid-America Electric Auto Association and area dealers.

-Hop next door to the Anita B Gorman Conservation Discovery Center for their Native Plant Day to pick up some seeds and flowers courtesy of Missouri Prairie Foundation, and learn more about how you can support our local ecosystems.

-Take a guided tour of our Project Living Proof space, a one-of-a-kind home that’s been upgraded for peak resource efficiency. Gain some exciting ideas for how you can make your home eco-friendly.

-Take part in the launch of a new MEC program designed to make the KC area greener (to be announced in the coming weeks!)

… And so much more! We’ve got some exciting sponsors and activities in the works – so stay tuned for more details! We can’t wait to see you there. RSVP here: https://www.facebook.com/events/564960977326992/
