Volunteers will gather at Crane Park for cleanups on Pine Street, Erie Park, Brookdale Park, and Glenridge Avenue (behind the Bay Street Train Station). Details will be provided after registration.
In addition to the Earth Day events, the celebration will also be combined with a Drive Electric Day event organized by NJ Sierra Club and Montclair Climate Action. The event will take place on Saturday, April 22nd, on Gates Avenue between Bloomfield and Glenridge Avenues.
Over a dozen privately owned electric vehicle models will be on display, and their owners will be available to talk about their experience owning and operating an electric vehicle.
The NJ Sierra Club will provide information on grants and subsidies available when purchasing electric vehicles, and PSEG will have a representative on hand to answer questions about installing a charging station at your home.
Electric school buses, electric bikes from Diamond Cycle, and an electric lawn mower and snow blower will also be on display.
