Dear Editor,
We’ve been celebrating Earth Day since April 22, 1970. This year, on April 22, the theme is “Invest in our Planet”.
Given how things are going — carbon emissions rising, polar ice melting, drought, floods, and alarming losses of biodiversity — perhaps one day is not enough. How about if we celebrate our home, the Earth, for the whole month of April?
Please bring your energy and curiosity to a planning meeting on Wednesday, March 29 at 6:30 p.m. at the Ashcroft HUB. We’ll be looking for ideas for fun and engaging activities throughout the month. If meetings aren’t your thing, but you’d like to participate, please drop a note to Anne McKague (anne.mckague@gmail.com) or Jessica Clement (executivedirector@ashcrofthub.com) and we’ll get cracking!
Stay tuned to nature-themed displays in the Sidewalk Gallery on Railway Avenue in Ashcroft for the month of April. Yay spring! Yay Mother Earth!
