By Jim Edwards, Fox 11 News

Tucson has been chosen as one of ten U.S. cities that will host a major event on Earth Day 2009, as part of the National Conversation on Climate Action. On Earth Day, April 22, Tucson will host a “Spotlight Conversation” as part of an elite group that will be highlighted nationally and receive extensive support in even planning and promotion.

 

The event will be co-hosted by the city of Tucson, Pima County, and the University of Arizona. Events will be planned that focus on civic engagement, solutions-oriented dialogue, and local climate action.

 

“We look forward to supporting Tucson’s Spotlight Conversation event on Earth Day,” said Michelle Wyman, Executive Director of ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability USA. “This will be an opportunity for Tucson to advance their local climate protection goals and feed into a crucial national dialogue on the imperative of local climate action.”
