Event Description:

Step It Up Worcester will be a festive rally, featuring bands and
speakers, with a focus on actions towards sustainability. A major
goal of the event is to raise awareness of the National Grid GreenUp
program. GreenUp matches each household's electric use and puts it
towards a blend of wind, solar, biomass, or low impact hydro power.
One of the main objectives of Step It Up Worcester is to get 750
households signed up for GreenUp.



There will also tables for many local non-profits, NGO's businesses
and other orgs concerned with sustainability. Earn-A-Bike volunteer
bike shop will be offering free valet bike parking and free tune-ups.
A few other highlights include d.i.y. shirt stenciling, free bike
raffles, greasecars, vegan food and music. Learn about the Artichoke
Food Co-op, community gardens and alternative energy.
