The past two Earth Days, we've been living here in the Triangle, the home of Burt's Bees, which makes for a very good Earth Day location. Every year, Burt's Bees puts on a big celebration downtown with bands and booths and a junk-band parade. I enjoy finding out what green businesses and organizations there are in the area, and the kids like coloring pictures of native plants, admiring chickens and worms, and making "art" out of junk.
Last Saturday, I spent the morning at a summit to get community gardens started in Raleigh that I helped plan. Then I headed over in the afternoon to man a booth at Planet Earth for the same community gardens group. It was a long and busy day, and I'm really grateful to Michael for spending the day with the boys so I could be involved in something important to me.
I wish I were more savvy at knowing what was going on right in my own community! That looks like fun. I think it is great that you are so involved in what you care about.
ReplyDeleteKim - It helps that we live downtown, so most things are within walking distance. Sometimes, we discover events by trying to drive somewhere and finding out that half of the streets are blocked off!
