POWR2 Team Supports and Powers Bethel, CT Earth Day 2024
This April, the POWR2 team participated in Bethel Earth Day 2024, where they joined the local community for a day of action and celebration. Sponsored by the Bethel Parks & Recreation Department, the Bethel Land Trust, and the Sustainable Bethel Commission, the event embodied a shared commitment to protecting the environment and promoting sustainability. Several POWR2 team members volunteered to dedicate their Saturday to making a positive impact on the local environment and the community.
A Day of Community Action
The Earth Day event kicked off with Trashapalooza, a community clean-up initiative. The POWR2 team and their families joined local volunteers to pick up litter along Bethel, CT streets. The spirit of community was on full display as participants worked together to protect their town’s natural beauty and the environment they call home.
For the POWR2 team, this was more than just a clean-up event; it was an opportunity to show their dedication to sustainable practices at the grassroots level. Getting involved hands-on was a natural extension of POWR2’s vision to see a world powered by sustainable energy.
Bethel Earth Day Fair: Powering Sustainability
After a productive morning of clean-up efforts, the festivities continued at the Earth Day Fair on the Bethel Municipal Center lawn. The Fair, filled with local vendors, non-profit organizations, and community groups, aimed to educate and inspire action around sustainability. With games for children, live performances by local musicians, and a range of eco-friendly products on display, the atmosphere was both fun and inspiring.
POWR2 also helped support the event’s energy needs. A POWR2 POWRBANK battery energy storage system (BESS) was set up to power three vendor booths on the lawn. The POWRBANK provided clean, silent energy without the noise or emissions of traditional diesel generators. This demonstration of the POWRBANK’s capabilities aligned perfectly with the day’s sustainability message, showcasing how energy storage systems can reduce reliance on fossil fuels and provide a reliable power source for a wide range of events and applications.
A Vision in Action
The Bethel Earth Day event brought together community members and organizations with the shared goal of creating a healthier planet. For POWR2, Earth Day was not just a celebration—it was a reminder of their larger mission to promote a cleaner, greener future through innovative battery energy storage systems.
Through their involvement in this local event, the POWR2 team underscored their commitment to sustainability—not only in the products they create but in their actions within their community. The Bethel Earth Day celebration was a great example of how small, local actions can make a big difference, and POWR2 is proud to have played a part in this meaningful day.
