Earth Day 2014 - Entertainment
Earth Day Sponsor / Exhibitor Highlights
Earth Day Dallas was a wonderful success for us, exceeding all
expectations. - Dr. Clay D. Hanks, Texas A&M Health Service Center
(HSC).
One amusing highlight was a gentleman who gave our hybrid excavator
a big hug because he just loves construction equipment. We gave him a
limited edition "Hybrid" Cat cap to reciprocate. We knew there would be
plenty of tree huggers present but honestly did not expect to encounter
a real equipment hugger! - Kathi Harris, HOLT CAT
LED GreenTech could not be happier with its results, we have already
completed four large LED conversion projects and have several more in
the works from leads we acquired exhibiting at Earth Day Dallas.
- Michael Moore, Jr., LED GreenTech
The Nature Conservancy grew its paying membership by 865 people at
Earth Day Dallas, which is one of the most successful membership drives
weve had in Texas! - Barbara Laing, The Nature Conservancy
Sea Shepherd had its largest-ever fundraising event as
an exhibitor at Earth Day 2013!
