The CW Twin Cities 3rd Annual Free To Be Green Event is at
Como Park Zoo and Conservatory on September 19th!

Living green isn't a fad - it's a way of life and its here to stay.
Small changes to your daily routine can add up to big differences in helping to stop global warming. The time to come together to solve this problem is now - take action!

The CW Twin Cities is proud to have it's 3nd annual Free To Be Green campaign, designed to educate viewers on how to conserve, be ecologically aware and offer simple steps Minnesotans can take in their everyday life that can have a large impact on the environment and their pocketbook.

This important initiative will once again be held at Como Park Zoo and Conservatory on September 19th, 2009 from 10am to 4pm. The event will create an interactive and educational day for children and adults. Green passport conservation stations will be set up throughout Como Park Zoo to inform families about environmental issues facing Minnesota, while offering an interactive and fun learning experience at each stop.

Come enjoy a day at the zoo and learn more about how to be green from The CW Twin Cities!
