CAP team takes to the streets for the 2007 Tour de Nash
From left, Stephanie Conley, Laura Artates, Melissa and Trevor
Stevens, and Janice Truszkowski made up the CAP team.
Friends, colleagues and even babies joined the Clean Air Partnership’s team
for a four-mile walk through Downtown Nashville to support our newest partner,
Walk/Bike Nashville. The Tour de Nash promotes walking and biking as alternatives
to driving, and encourages people to get moving to improve physical fitness. The event
drew 1,300 participants, a 44 percent increase from 2006 and nearly 75 percent were first
timers, and almost half were walkers, according to Shannon Hornsby,
Walk/Bike Nashville
executive director. CAP also participated as an event sponsor this year.
Clean Air Fair Targets Downtown Workers
May 24, 2007
Melissa Stevens from the Clean Air Partnership and Blake McClain from
the Nashville Metro Health Department teamed up to staff the Clean Air Fair booth.
Hundreds of downtown workers braved the hot and humid weather to visit the
Clean Air Fair held May 24 at the Bicentennial Mall. The fair was organized by
the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and was mainly
targeted toward state and other downtown Nashville workers. CAP teamed up
with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation to hold a
drawing for a free one-night stay at a state park and five Clean Air Prize Packs
for individuals who signed up to receive EnviroFlash alerts via e-mail. Nearly
40 people signed up at the event.
Earth Day 2007 EnviroFlash Signups a Success
April 2007
The 2007 Nashville Earth Day Festival, held at Centennial Park in April,
drew several thousand Nashvillians to learn about issues including air
quality, water quality, and sustainability, and to enjoy great music and food.
The Clean Air Partnership participated in the event with an information booth
and Clean Air Prize Pack give-away for individuals who signed up to receive
EnviroFlash air quality alerts. In all, 50 people signed up to receive the air quality alerts.
New this year, CAP presented “Clean Air” flags to all of the air related booths,
so that they could be easily recognized.
