The Community for Alternative Sources of Energy (CASE) is a student run not-for-profit organization at Northside College Prep, the state's top ranked public high school. CASE is committed to decreasing dependency on fossil fuels by identifying and using practical
alternative energy sources. CASE's goal is to make Northside an example of total sustainability and with the cooperation of the Chicago Public Schools, is currently in the process of installing
solar thermal panels on the building's roof.
In celebration of Earth Day, CASE is holding their first annual Green Scene on Saturday, April 21, 2007 on Northside's grounds along the Chicago River (5501 N. Kedzie). The indoor/outdoor festival is dedicated to raising community awareness about available eco-friendly practices. The fest is open to the public from 12-5 p.m. rain or shine. Admission is free. Ample parking is available for participants and guests.
In addition to providing a showcase for area green organizations, the event's unique focus is to present environmentalism in a way that is accessible and demonstrable to visitors of all ages. The intent is to provide practical ideas that each visitor can integrate into everyday life.
The event features vendors, informational booths, and hands-on activities that highlight all the different aspects of leading an environmentally friendly life style, such as organic food, fair-trade products, green energy sources, and recycling and conservation programs. With the help of an experienced public relations team, CASE expects to heavily promote the event in local media.
Interested organizations may participate either as vendors or as informational booths. All participants should provide their own booths and equipment. There is no set-up fee to participate, but 10% of sale proceeds will benefit CASE. Informational booths should also provide an activity or demonstration to engage festival goers. For additional information call (312) 952-6736 or email greensceneinfo@gmail.com. To learn more about CASE visit www.caseproject.org.
