The 2023 Earth Day Savannah theme is “Our Future is Bright” to educate and engage the public on the clean energy goals of the 100% Savannah Plan. Passed in 2021 by Savannah City Council, the 100% Savannah Plan guides the City to meeting 100% of community electricity needs with renewable energy by 2035. 

The Earth Day Savannah stage will be hosted by Kris Allred of WSAV, and includes performances by the DEEP Center and local artists CJ Giovanni, Izreal Graham, BKWala, and Jive English.   As a joint contributor to the event, Georgia Power will be hosting an Equity in Electric Transportation showcase.  The goal is to provide the local community with a better understanding of electric transportation, display a variety of electric vehicles, and discuss equitable ways for many cultures and groups to electrify. Additionally, Pratt Industries – Recycling Division, the City of Savannah recycling partner, will be onsite to showcase Curbside Recycling and share educational information surrounding what can be recycled curbside, where your recycling goes, as well as showcase commercial recycling programs that are available to the community.
