EARTHKEEPERS TO GIVE OUT FREE REUSABLE BAGS ON EARTH DAY
Earth Day is April 22, and to celebrate St. Marys' impressive
recycling rate of more than 60% (twice the national average), the St.
Marys EarthKeepers are giving away free reusable cloth grocery bags
at St. Marys' Waterfront Park. From 10 am to noon on Wednesday, April
22, volunteers from the St. Marys EarthKeepers will hand out the bags
that were generously donated by Publix and Harvey's. According to St.
Marys EarthKeepers chair, Alex Kearns,
"St. Marys' dedication to the protection of our fragile planet is
growing stronger each day. We've seen it demonstrated by the
eagerness of our clean-up volunteers, the overwhelming participation
during the recent Earth Hour, the generosity of our member
contributors, and our citizens' extraordinary recycling efforts. Our
community is becoming renowned for its 'green-awareness', and we
should all be proud of what we've accomplished thus far."
Earth Day 2009 will mark the beginning of the Earth Day Network's
"Green Generation Campaign." This two-year global initiative will
culminate with the 40th anniversary of Earth Day in 2010. From local
schools to international conglomerates, from small towns to
metropolitan areas—the call to educate, take action, and be aware of
our responsibility as societies and individuals is growing.
This year the St. Marys EarthKeepers invite all citizens to renew
their commitment to environmental sensitivity, pick up their free
reusable bag at the Waterfront Park, and use them to eliminate
plastic and paper bags at the supermarket.
Together we can change our world.
