Ask Kayla.

TUE 4/21 Earth Day 3: Since we can’t march tomorrow, make a sign (out of used paper bags or scrap paper) declaring your commitment to the planet and put it in your window for your neighbors to see for the rest of the week, or try experimenting with found art. Questions? Ask Aayla.

WED 4/22 Earth Day 4: It’s the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day!

THU 4/23 Earth Day 5: Take action. Use Citizen Climate Lobby’s calling tool and our Green Stimulus Talking Points to reach out to your lawmakers and tell them that the environment must be included in the next COVID-19 stimulus package to protect public health and the economy in the long term. Questions? Ask Celeste.

FRI 4/24 Earth Day 6: Happy Friday, treat yourself to a great meal! From 5:30-7 pm EST, join us on Zoom as Chef Del Sroufe teaches an interactive course on sustainable plant-based cooking, and learn how the food you eat affects the world you live in. More details to follow. Questions? Ask Genaro.
