That's right, fellow Green Drinkers, this month we'll be gathering on Earth Day, April 22nd at 5:30 (ish), at Ferguson's in Winchester, VA. We will not be alone in our celebrations, 16 different participating Green Drinks chapters throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed will come together to stage a same-day gathering in their respective cities, attempting to top the world attendance record of 1,800 set in Melbourne, Australia, and to rally support for action to improve the health of the Chesapeake Bay. Not just the bay, but also the health of our water ways right here in our own Shenandoah Valley!
Jed Rau from the Lord Fairfax Soil and Water Conservation District will join us to talk about how what we put on our yards and gardens and how we use water in our homes affects water quality, and representatives from Ferguson's will be on hand to answer questions about water conservation in our homes.
Ferguson's will be graciously providing refreshments for us (beer in the bathtub? Tea on the counter?) as we gather to celebrate Earth Day, to increase our awareness of how our personal actions affect water quality all the way to the bay, and to learn how to decrease our water consumption in general.
So come on out and join us on Earth Day, bring your friends, your family, your neighbors, and let's show the world that Virginians mean business about greening our environment!
Greening the Valley one conversation at a time.
