SCC and Puget Sound Clean Cities Coalition
Co-host Odyssey Days
A public event to heighten public awareness on energy independence and clean air via alternative fuels and advanced technologies
OCTOBER 13-14, 2006 

Shoreline, WA — On October 13-14, 2006, Shoreline Community College and the Puget Sound Clean Cities Coalition (PSCCC) will co-host 2006 Washington State Odyssey Days, a two-day event to heighten public awareness about reducing carbon emissions to produce cleaner air, energy independence and security, and economic opportunity through the use of alternative fuels and advanced technologies.  The event, to be held at the main campus of Shoreline Community College, will also support the creation of an in-state industry based on domestically-produced fuels as sources of renewable energy.  Guest speakers, workshops and exhibits will be included.

            Odyssey Days are part of a biennial international campaign occurring in more than 50 cities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Germany in response to climate change, global warming and dependence on foreign oil.  Twenty-four thousand people participated in Odyssey Day events across the U.S. in 2004.

Shoreline Community College is located at 16101 Greenwood Avenue North, just west of Aurora Avenue and north of Seattle city limits.
