We have two Earth Day events coming up in April. On Thursday, April 20th, come see a special screening of the movie “Kiss the Ground,” narrated by Woody Harrelson, a full-length documentary shedding light on a “new/old approach” to farming called regenerative agriculture, a practice with the extraordinary ability to balance our climate and feed the world. More details on time and location coming soon.
The second event is on Friday, April 21st at school and will feature a variety of fun activities including demonstrations of:
– Vermi-composting – kids can touch worms and see compost in various stages
– Carbon in different forms – rocks, soil and air
– Acidification
– Respiration & photo-synthesis with CO2 Analyzer
– Visual displays of soils / carbon cycle / ocean PH / Keeling Curve
We have a lot of fun events coming up that could use some helping hands! Visit our Volunteer Opportunities page and sign up or contact Leila Esfandiari at vpvolunteers@vistaverdepta.org.
