Press Release

Thanks to GE's Capture the Wind Tour reporters for producing this video of the 2010 Clean Air Fair.

Each year MORPC plans the Clean Air Fair with the goal of familiarizing downtown employees with information on respiratory health, green technologies and fuels, healthy lifestyles, and transportation choices-ultimately raising awareness of voluntary actions they can take to reduce pollution.  Stop by the event and enjoy free ice cream and music from CD101, where you could win a new bike from Cyclist Connection, as well as great raffle prizes provided by local businesses and restaurants.  Consider walking, taking the bus or riding your bike to the event. 

A variety of the latest air-friendly vehicles will also be on display including The Ohio State University EcoCAR Team’s award-winning Equinox vehicle, the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio’s natural gas-fueled Honda vehicle, and several scooters from the local Zoot Scootz retail store. And don’t miss a special viewing of the future product of Toyota, a fully functional Prius plug-in presented by Central Ohio Toyota Dealers.

A new addition to this year's event is GE’s 131-foot wind-turbine blade that is making a special stop at the Clean Air Fair as part of a nationwide renewable energy tour.  The wind-turbine blade is part of the “Capture the Wind” tour: a 28-day, multi-state wind blade tour to emphasize the escalating role renewable energy will have on America’s clean energy future. Individuals who see the blade will have the opportunity to sign their name on the blade to pledge their support for a clean energy future and urge America’s leaders to support innovative renewable energy policies. The wind-blade will also be in Columbus on Thursday, May 6 at the COSI science museum.  Find out more about the tour and follow the route on GE's Facebook page.
