Notes from a conversation on Earth Day

From Ann Lovejoy:

Here’s a picture of my deconstructed yogurt container having a second life as plant markers and one of my recycled plastic container doubling as a seed sprouting box. Later I’ll add soil, then poke holes for drainage and air. Also included a mod-podged former tissue box; we use these for our cloth hankies which we use instead of paper tissues.

I am sharing a few links here (some of which I entered in the chat box). In addition, here is the link to our current Earth Month page http://www.sustainablebainbridge.org/earth-day-.aspx and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/EarthMonthBI/. Our new website is under construction and should be up soon.

This week:

Citizen Science initiative with iNaturalist app– a great way to help scientists as a citizen scientist while getting out in the great outdoors!

Things you can do all year long for our beautiful Earth:

For when we can all get out again and reuse our own coffee cups at local stores and bakeries, consider taking a pledge to bring your own reusable mug or cup–always!
