Free and open to the public. Turn Oakland County Green is back with more speakers, more vendors, and more music than last year! Join our honorary co-chairs former congressman Andy Levin and State Rep. Helena Scott, as well as our event sponsors for the 2023 Oakland County Earth Day March and Rally. We will ask Oakland County communities to seize this moment to take administrative action to fight against the climate crisis while creating justice, protecting future generations, and creating sustainable jobs while learning about different ways to be sustainable and take action, all while having fun and meeting other like-minded people.
Our communities can begin creating community-wide plans that tackle climate change and leave us a sustainable world.
