LES’
Sustainable Living
Week
Dig into our sustainable living tips, activities and videos!
During LES’ Sustainable Living Week July 19-24, 2021, we celebrated sustainability in our community through engaging and valuable info generated by LES and local experts! We offered up live-stream events (see the replays below!), on-demand videos from LES and our community partners, and short posts on topics about electric vehicles, renewable energy, environmental conservation, energy efficiency and more. The week wrapped up with LES’ EV Ride + Drive event July 24 at Haymarket Park in Lincoln where eventgoers took EVs for a spin and learned about purchasing and owning a plug-in vehicle from local EV owners and dealers. It was an entire week to gather new ideas and learn about what is being done in our community and on the EV front. Together, let’s inspire a brighter energy future!
