This event puts a new spin on gift-giving. The concept is simple: Make a donation to a locally-based nonprofit, personalize a Gifts That Give Hope greeting card for a loved one, and give that act of kindness as a gift. EcoAction Arlington is honored to be one of the featured nonprofits.

Join EcoAction Arlington for a free film screening and discussion. Idle Threat looks at one man’s struggle to improve public health by raising awareness about idling’s impact, starting in New York City. Against all odds, he succeeds, helping improve local air quality, and in the process gains worldwide recognition for the anti-idling cause. This event will include a social with light refreshments from 4:00 to 4:30 p.m. and a discussion following the film.
Thanks to a grant from the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund, we are pleased to offer teachers, informal educators, and parent volunteers free copies of Big Nose, Big City, a children’s book about idling, to everyone who reserves their space by January 6. We are also offering mini-grants for school-based projects related to improving air quality and community health.
