Pittsburgh Earth Day 2020
When Pittsburgh's 50th Anniversary celebration of Earth Day needed to be postponed, due to quarantine, I created a full program of virtual Earth Day events, including a film festival, a sustainable business idea share, interactive contests, and more.
Media Alert detailing Virtual Pittsburgh Earth Day Events
To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, Pittsburgh musicians came together to record a new version of the original Earth Day Anthem. Promotions included multiple videos with environmental actions items.
Press Release used to promote the new anthem, which received excellent local media attention and airplay.
I've been instrumental in creating a new, weekly e-newsletter featuring original content on sustainable, green living. I worked to help attract high-quality contributors and grow the subscriber base.
