Earth Day Sponsor / Exhibitor Highlights

Earth Day Dallas was a wonderful success for us, exceeding all

expectations. - Dr. Clay D. Hanks, Texas A&M Health Service Center

(HSC).

One amusing highlight was a gentleman who gave our hybrid excavator

a big hug because he just loves construction equipment. We gave him a

limited edition "Hybrid" Cat cap to reciprocate. We knew there would be

plenty of tree huggers present but honestly did not expect to encounter

a real equipment hugger! -Kathi Harris, HOLT CAT

LED GreenTech could not be happier with its results, we have alreadycompleted four large LED conversion projects and have several more in

the works from leads we acquired exhibiting at Earth Day Dallas.

- Michael Moore, Jr., LED GreenTech

The Nature Conservancy grew its paying membership by 865 people at

Earth Day Dallas, which is one of the most successful membership drives

weve had in Texas! - Barbara Laing, The Nature Conservancy

Sea Shepherd had its largest-ever fundraising event as

an exhibitor at Earth Day 2013!
