While Earth Day is a single day dedicated to environmental action, Sustainable Saratoga has opportunities for everyone to do something good for the Earth in April.
Sustainable Saratoga works every day to promote sustainable practices and environmental protection through education and advocacy efforts, which empower people to take consequential action to protect our planet for current and future generations.
On April 20, Skidmore’s Anne Ernst will discuss the growing environmental problems caused by plastic pollution. “Plastic fi Miracle Molecule or Environmental Scourge?‚ is co-hosted by the League of Women Voters of Saratoga County and Sustainable Saratoga.
After learning about the problems of plastic pollution, join the Team Up to Clean Up litter collection event on April 23. The goal of this clean-up event is to raise awareness about the chronic issue of litter pollution, especially cans and plastic single-use items, and to make a tangible difference by removing lots of litter from our trails and neighborhoods.
