Our regular, second-Tuesday-afternoon-of-the -month Chapter Meeting is still on Zoom. Join us at 11:45am for time to socialize a bit and maybe have lunch together and make sure you’re all set on Zoom.
Then we start our meeting promptly at noon. We’re into the holiday season, and thinking about gifts for the youngers in our lives. How can we do the holidays up right this year, and make more sustainable choices, with less consumerism contributing to climate change? Our featured speaker from BeyondPlastics.org, Kathy Raiz, will clue us into sustainable ideas for gifts and more in her presentation, Beyond Plastic Toys: Sustainable Gift Alternatives
Kathy is excited to be a member of the Beyond Plastics Speaker’s Bureau. Since attending Judith Enck’s class on plastic pollution, she has become eager to educate people about the negative impact that plastic has on the environment and personal health, while encouraging citizens to take an active role in reducing plastic production and consumption.
