NDEW events may look and feel different based on the community, event format, and size of the event, but their individual and collective impact is always consistently amazing.

The Eastern Carver County School District (Chaska) showcased the Blue Bird electric school bus. Paula Thompson and Dan Trajano of MN350 talked about the climate, health, and learning benefits of transporting children to school via electric buses rather than diesel buses.
