Global Green and EarthX Sponsoring Three Tickets to EarthX Cities in April 2020
- Opportunity for Students and Community Based Organizations
In exchange for the free ticket, we're asking that participants write up a paragraph about opportunities and/or challenges toward increased sustainability specific to their neighborhood or a neighborhood that they work with or are familiar with.
By having a few of the attendees think about this before the event, then we're aiming to have a few participants who are actively engaged in thinking about how topics mentioned throughout the day can apply to local situations. We can also provide a more formal form as well if the students are seeking more direction.
Would you be interested in working to make your neighborhood more sustainable?
Please fill out the survey below to apply for a free ticket the the EarthX Cities event in April 2020 in Dallas.

Mission Statement
Global Green USA is the American affiliate of Green Cross International. For 25 years, Global Green USA has been a national leader in advancing smart solutions to climate change that improve lives and protect our planet. We create transformative model projects and advance new policies that build sustainable and resilient communities and affordable housing. We help local governments, schools, and public agencies integrate sustainable design, clean energy, and water reduction measures and we help people reduce waste, live better, and act more sustainably today--and in the future.
Description
Global Green has influenced more than $20 billion dollars worth of building construction by encouraging the integration of green building and sustainability practices, and we’ve educated millions of people about climate-friendly solutions through our five annual events, including the green event of the year, our Pre-Oscar Party. Our impact has been felt across the country, particularly in areas affected by disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans where we led green rebuilding efforts and continue to provide assistance and resources to local residents.
