Wilmington is on the verge of being designated nonattainment for Sulfur Dioxide. This is due to the Environmental Protection Agency recently lowering the standard. If this were to happen, New Hanover County would be the only county in North Carolina to be in nonattainment. The same may also happen in the future for ozone. The Earth Day Alliance thought this would be a good opportunity to bring attention to this important issue.
Fundraising Events
The Wilmington Earth Day Alliance chooses a variety of ways to raise funds for Earth Day. Previous years' events have included volleyball tournaments and a variety of other activities. In future years, fundraising events may include a 5K run.
