Cool Davis gives annual awards to individuals, businesses and groups in Davis for their actions and achievements in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The awards will be presented on Wednesday, April 20 in a ceremony at 5:15pm inside the US Bicycling Hall of Fame followed by a brief public presentation at the weekly Farmers’ market at 6:30pm.

The event will be used to encourage people to sign up to be Cool Homes and become their own eco heroes.
