Go Green Tustin

_____________________________
Earth Day Activity
Here's a tip from one of our Go Green volunteers, Terri Benedict:

A local youth service group (Ripple Kids) I am involved with will be joining efforts with the Lost Bean Organic Coffee Shop on a great Earth Day Community event on Sunday, April 19 from 12-3pm. It is FREE AND if you bring your own mug, all drinks are 1/2 off that day and on Earth Day, 4/22.

The activities will include:
*planting milkweed seedlings in recycled newspaper pots to support the Monarch habitat (a great, no-cost way for schools to start or expand their garden program--we have Monarch caterpillars, chrysalis and butterflies in our garden almost yearound. I'll even have Monarch caterpillars on milkweed plants so kids can see them up close).
*decorating a dog bed filled with fleece blanket scraps (that would otherwise be thrown in the trash) to be taken home or donated to our local animal shelter.
*creating special, handmade Mother's Day cards for the Tustin Senior Center.
*learning how simple it is to recycle organic waste with worm bins (we'll actually have an active one there to show how it works!)

Sounds like a fun "Green" activity. Download a flyer you can post/pass on. http://tpsf.net/PDFs/BeanDonateEARTHdayCommunity2.pdf
