Since the first event, the electric department has been the primary sponsor, and again Middle Tennessee Electric takes the lead. This year’s theme is “Think Green: Planet vs. Plastics.”
Earth Day Committee’s Chairman Amy Byers with Middle Tennessee Electric told WGNS…
Rutherford County’s Earth Day Celebration aims to educate and mobilize our community into action.
