EarthWork Day is about celebrating Earth Day by walking the talk.

Last year, SES Consulting, Recollective, Pulse Energy and HiVE decided to celebrate Earth Day in a new and exciting way. Their employees were given a budget of $22 per person to have some fun making a difference in a creative way around their community. EarthWork Day 2012 was such a success we’ve decided to do it again and we’re inviting more organizations to join us!

Part 1: Ideas Pitch – Friday March 22, 5pm at HiVE

• 5pm: Drink, eat, mingle (beer & snacks provided)
• 6pm: Pitch ideas for feedback, join groups

Between March 22 – April 22, groups are to begin coordinating to plan their ideas so they’re ready to implement on April 22.  Check out the videos from the 2012 EarthWork Day Ideas Pitch here!

Part 2: EarthWork Day – April 22, 9am at HiVE

We start at 9am at the HiVE (128 West Hastings, Suite 210), split up our various folk into small teams, each company gives each employee a budget of $22 per person to hit the street or their computers and make a difference.  (For individuals not part of a participating organization, you can play with us too!  Just show up with $22 and/or your volunteer time.)

• 9am: Show up with $22, partake in coffee & snacks, last minute planning, new people to join groups
• 10am: Leave HiVE to implement project ideas. Choose at least one person to photo/video document.
• 3pm: Meet back at HiVE, prepare “show & tell” using photos and/or video documentation from day
