The week-long event highlights the city’s progress towards a more carbon-neutral future, and its commitment to its A2ZERO plan for reaching neutrality by 2030.
The plan was unanimously passed by Ann Arbor City Council in 2020 and has been celebrated every June since 2021.
Event attendees can enter to win prizes by picking up an A2ZERO passport at any branch of the Ann Arbor District Library, going to events and submitting an online form. A2ZERO passport prize winners will be drawn at 6 p.m. on June 10 at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival Annex.
Community members can also take a self-guided circular economy tour around the city with complimentary TheRide bus passes. Learn about local sustainable tourism by picking up a tour packet at Cinnaholic, at 121 E. Liberty St., during A2ZERO Week while supplies last.
