White House 2010 Easter Egg Roll: Ready, Set, Go! Sustainable Eggs

Update 5 april 2010: The White House recently announced details on the 2010 Easter Egg Roll – an event that will bring 30,000 people from all 50 states and DC to the White House.

But you don’t have to be on the South Lawn to enjoy Monday’s festivities – livestreaming all day on WhiteHouse.gov.

This year’s theme is Ready, Set, Go!, following the First Lady’s Let’s Move! initiative – a national effort to combat childhood obesity. So in addition to the egg roll classics, there will be new activities like sports, gardening and dancing to promote healthy and active living.

The Rock ‘n’ Egg Roll Stage will feature live music with performances by Sara Bareilles, Justin Bieber, the cast of TV show Glee, Yo Gabba Gabba, Sesame Street and more. J.K. Rowling, Reese Witherspoon, Apolo Ohno, Mariska Hargitay, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Elmo and Maria of Sesame Street and Betty DeGeneres will read on the Storytime Stage.

15 maart 2010: The President and First Lady have announced that this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll will be held on Monday, April 5, 2010 with the theme of “Ready, Set, Go!” promoting health and wellness.

President Obama’s 2010 White House Easter Egg is made from FSC certified hardwood and the set of four are packaged in sustainable packaging made from SFI certified paperboard. 

This year’s egg comes in four colors – purple, pink, green, yellow – and includes the stamped signatures of the President and First Lady. In a continued effort to make the Easter Egg Roll more environmentally friendly, all eggs have again been crafted in the United States from Forest Stewardship Council-certified hardwood. The 2010 White House Easter Egg Roll souvenir eggs will be available for purchase online at the National Park Foundation website. 

The packaging has also been designed to minimize waste and environmental impact, helping to create a ‘greener’ Easter Egg and Easter Egg packaging. The packaging for the 2010 White House Easter Egg is made from Sustainability Forest Initiative (SFI) – certified paperboard (SFI paperboard uses no wood fibers from endangered forests). The printed carton is easily recyclable when collected and processed in a municipal or community Paperboard Recycling Program. Features vegetable oil-based inks and a water-based coating.

   Geweldig toch? Bewust naar Pasen toeleven, wie wil dat niet?

   In een serie kerkelijke bezinningen in Ede staat woensdag het energieprobleem centraal. Met deze bezinningen wil het Kerkelijk Centrum Emmaüs ‘bewust naar Pasen toe leven’. Er worden ook tips en ideeën uitgewisseld over energiebesparing in en rond het huis.

   In this week of Easter, Passover, and faithful celebration, President Barack Obama uses his address to offer his holiday greeting and to call on people of all faiths and nonbelievers to remember our shared spirit of humanity.
