Pittsburgh Earth Day: From Steel to Sustainable
By Maggie McCauley
The third annual Pittsburgh Earth Day celebrates green innovation in the city and honors those in the community who continue to strive for environmentally friendly initiatives. “We are a city that is being recognized nationally for technology, robotics, artificial intelligence, the food scene, and we would like sustainability to be added to the amazing lineup,” says Ronda Zegarelli, president of Acrobatique Creative and co-founder of Pittsburgh Earth Day. Following the same “from steel to sustainable” mission, the citywide commemoration will encompass favorite events from previous years, including the Ecolution Fashion Show at Fairmont Pittsburgh, the Sustainability Business Breakfast at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, and the happenings in Market Square, in addition to new events like PNC’s Lunch + Learn luncheon at the James E. Rohr Auditorium in the Tower at PNC Plaza. “It is with the amazing support of our sponsors that we can continue to share the Pittsburgh Earth Day mission and evolve the programming lineup.” For tickets and more information, visit pittsburghearthday.org.
