Today’s surprises are part of the 100% campaign’s ONE100 Awards program. The program surprises individuals across the country, honoring them for their leadership in the transition to 100% clean energy for all. Other ONE100 Awards events have celebrated clean energy leaders from Buffalo, New York; Highland Park, Michigan; and Oakland, California.Today’s billboard blitz is the second surprise celebration for ONE100 Award winners in Atlanta. Mark Ruffalo attended a September event at the Plaza Theatre honoring local clean energy “superheroes.” It featured an onscreen tribute from Ruffalo (perhaps best known for playing the Incredible Hulk) and his fellow Avengers star Chris Evans (who plays Captain America).“The ONE100 Awards highlight the fact that people from all walks of life are giving their 100% to support clean energy,” said campaign co-founder Mark Ruffalo. “Through the ONE100 Awards, we hope to shine a spotlight on the diverse range of Americans who are spearheading innovative approaches to clean energy in community after community, all across America. They are doing important work, and deserve to be celebrated.”Contact: Carina DanielsE: carina@catercommunications.comPh: 510-847-1617
