Spokane is pushing the Earth Day, 2010, celebration to the hilt, and we hope PacifiCAD can support this year's effort -- Taking it to the Streets, Spokane!
Seek it out: April 17, Sat., all morning, afternoon and into the night. It's about urban space, public places, and understanding the relationship between us, humans, cities, our places, and our carbon imprint and footprint.
