Earth Day 2009


Daughter Sarah posing with one of our "green monsters" at the CC. Weatherby Lake has had the chance to recycle more than newspapers since mid September of last year. We were averaging almost 3 tons of recycled stuff every month last time I asked. A years worth would make an impressive pile...not going to the landfill. Doing your part? I hope so, if not, give it a whirl. As I drive around the lake on Friday I see lots of folks just waiting to join us...at least by the looks of all the potential recycled material at roadside. Maybe they need some gentle encouragement.

Speaking of encouragement, the Stream Team report at the WLIC Board meeting is encouraging. Five teams formed and trained, kits and cameras in hand. Joe mentioned the WLIC is "building a foundation" when it comes to documentation regarding those who would ignore proper measures for stormwater management. A real Earth/Lake day concern for all of us. Want to help? Contact any Board member or the WLIC office. You are now free to hug a tree.
