Strive Not To Drive Film Festival - February 5

In an effort to keep everyone thinking about ways to Strive Not To Drive, SNTD, The City of Asheville, NC Division of Air Quality, and the National Park Service have joined forces on the Strive Not TO Drive Film Festival and the Air Expo.

On February 5, 2011, the fifth Air Expo and Strive Not To Drive Film Festival will highlight air quality and transportation projects created by 7th grade students from Buncombe and Henderson Counties. The projects focus on transportation, air quality issues, and solutions. The projects were developed by students during the fall of 2010.

At 10:00 a.m. the Air Expo will start with an informal meeting with the students and view the projects. The program will begin at 10:15 a.m. and include the presentation of awards. We expect the formal presentations to be finished by 11:30 a.m.

The Strive Not To Drive Film Festival will begin at 1:00 p.m. The Strive Not To Drive Film Festival will feature videos created by students and the general public. In addition to showing this year’s videos, we will also show the best videos created for previous SNTD film festivals.

Both events are open to the public, and we encourage people who are interested in air quality, transportation, and environmental health to be a part of these events.
