The Village is encouraging residents to play a game of Earth Day Bingo. The U.S. Department of Energy has created an interactive bingo card in celebration of Earth Day, April 22, 2023. The game supports a number of learning activities and actions that start positive personal habits and minimize negative environmental impacts. Any Riverside resident that completes a successful bingo card (five marked squares vertically, horizontally, or diagonally) will be entered into a raffle drawn on May 1, 2023. Raffle prizes include reusable Riverside drink ware, Parks and Recreation program coupons, and other earth-friendly Riverside goodies including a grand prize of a Scout Cabin rental.
To Play: Participants should take photo proof of how they completed five consecutive Earth Day bingo actions during the month of April. Email the photos, marked bingo card, along with your name, address, and phone number to: C4Team@riverside.il.us or drop a printed copy into the silver Village drop box at 27 Riverside Road. For example, show us your planted spring garden, your delicious plant-based meal, take a selfie in-front of your favorite second-hand store, or snap a screenshot of your calculated carbon footprint! Bingo cards submitted without photos will be entered into the main raffle drawing but only participants that share five game photos will be entered into the drawing for the grand prize.
Send questions to C4Team@riverside.il.us. A digital version of the Bingo Card is available at https://www.riverside.il.us/609/C4-Initiative. Good luck!
