Last week, we learned that Evanston was selected to represent the United States as the 2015 Earth Hour City Capital in World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) Earth Hour City Challenge. The competition’s eleven-member jury composed of renowned leaders in urban sustainability noted Evanston’s impressive commitment and demonstrable progress toward fighting climate change.

However, Evanston still needs YOUR help to win the We Love Cities Campaign! Everyone is still encouraged to vote daily for Evanston in the We Love Cities Competition through Friday, March 27 at WeLoveEvanston.org. 

Evanston is currently in second place worldwide with over 10,000 votes.

You do not need to live in Evanston to participate.

Voting on the website is limited to once per person, per day, per city. However, you can make multiple submissions via Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #WeLoveEvanston along with making multiple suggestions per day on WeLoveEvanston.org. 

Please note that all Twitter and Instagram profiles must be public in order for votes to count. Photos already shared on Instagram can be tagged with #WeLoveEvanston now and will be counted as well.

Need help remembering to vote? Sign up to receive daily text and/or email reminders to vote by joining the City's "We Love Evanston" notification list.
