The Corporate Green Day Challenge, Nearly 700 employees participated in the Corporate Green Day Challenge, representing 15 company sponsors, dedicating a Saturday morning to cleaning up parks and stream banks, planting gardens and mulching trees throughout Atlanta at 12 area locations.
The 2012 Corporate Green Day Challenge award was given to Accenture and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc who worked together with the Atlanta Audubon Society , an EarthShare of Georgia member group, at Constitution Lakes in DeKalb County. Their collaborative efforts brought together a team of 120 volunteers to exchange their suits for work boots and garden gloves, to clean up parks, pull privet and clean streams.
Corporate Green Day Challenge offers an opportunity for your employees to experience first-hand the work of EarthShare of Georgia’s environmental member organizations and area parks that “do green” every day in caring for our air, land and water.
