Go Metro to Celebrate Earth Day with Music by Latin Singer/Songwriter Carina Ricco at Union Station
Celebrate Mother Earth on Earth Day by leaving your gas-guzzling, air-polluting car behind and going Metro or Metrolink to Union Station for a free concert by the Latin singer/songwriter Carina Ricco. Carina and her band will perform music from her new album "Viaje Personal" ("Personal Journey"), including her eco song "Planeta Azul" ("Blue Planet"), at Metro’s “Rock & Ride” Earth Day event on Tuesday, April 22, at noon, on the South Patio of Union Station. Carina replaces the rock band Canon, whose lead singer is ill. The concert is planned to promote public transit and draw attention to environmental concerns by rewarding mass transit patrons with entertainment in a distinctive, transit-friendly venue. "We want to reward our customers for the respect they show the earth by leaving their cars at home and commuting on Metro," said Marc Littman, Metro Deputy Executive Officer for Public Relations. "We're also hoping that potential new riders will take the subway or bus to get to the concert and find out how comfortable it is. Even if we inspire only a few new riders, we've accomplished what we set out to do in celebration of Earth Day. We've chipped away at global warming, a few cars at a time." So bring your lunch, enjoy the music and contribute to a better planet. Go Green! Go Metro!
