Climate Justice

Whatcom Conservation District and Whatcom Million Trees Project, in partnership with the City of Bellingham, are giving away free yard trees to residents of five neighborhoods: Columbia, Roosevelt, Lettered Streets, Sunnyland, York.

Green Team and friends are collecting batteries and lightbulbs to be recycled.

First Congregational Church is hosting the Whatcom Peace & Justice Center's discussion about nuclear power January 18, 5:00 pm.

The Green Team's monthly focus for October is "Clean Up Your Environment." Everyone suffers when water and land are contaminated by garbage that's been improperly discarded. 

The Green Team's monthly focus for September is "Throw Away Less Food." According to the United Nations Action for a Healthy Planet, when you waste food, you're also wasting the resources and energy that were used to grow, produce, package, and transport it. Food rotting in a landfill produces methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
