DATE:
Saturday, August 7, 2010

TIME:
Start-8:00 AM
End-Time is decided by each individual GREEN Walker

LOCATION:
The Village at Waugh Chapel Shopping Center (Meet in the parking lot along Rt. 3 in front of Damon's and Applebees Restaurants (Look for GREEN!)

ADDRESS:
Intersection of Waugh Chapel Rd. & Rt. 3, Gambrills, MD 21054

DESCRIPTION:
Support Walking GREEN and join me in cleaning up our neighborhoods, roads, woodlands, and waterways during Walking GREEN's Inaugural GREEN Event. Those who participate will become part of the Walking GREEN family and be named an official "GREEN Walker." GREEN Walkers will be responsible for picking up trash in the designated area for each specific event.

GREEN WALKERS "TO BRING" CHECK LIST:
-GREEN shirt (other GREEN attire is encouraged!
-Proper walking footwear (Avoid open toe footwear!)
-WATER!!!
-Gloves
-Trash Bags (Each GREEN Walker will have a "trash" bag & "recycling" bag)
-Hand Sanitizer or Sand Hanitizer
-Sun Screen
-Snacks & Sack Lunch (I am all about food, so eating is essential after a GREEN walk)
*Bring anything else that you think you may need.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

SAFETY FIRST! This event will take place along the sides of Rt. 3 & in the median; however, the median is extremely wide. All children must be supervised by an adult. Walking GREEN is not responsible for your safety. Each individual is responsible for their own actions.

DISPOSAL & RECYCLING-Each GREEN Walker is responsible for the trash they collect during a Walking GREEN event and will be trusted to dispose or recycle it appropriately, whether that be at home, county dump or recycling area. We must ALL do our part!

Thank you!

Walking GREEN Launches!

Yesterday marks the day when Walking GREEN takes it's first major step towards a Greener future. I added some links I follow on the blog page and a section that features a "Picture of the week." I look forward to some Walking GREEN events, so that I can take some photos of GREEN Walkers in action. The culmination of yesterday was posting my blog page on Facebook and also e-mailing it to my contacts, which included family, friends, and acquaintances. Hopefully the word will start to get out. I am really hoping for a good turn out in August; however, I have always said that GREEN Walkers or no GREEN Walkers...I will still Walk GREEN no matter what...

  2. I also think you should add John Francis and this website to your links - http://www.planetwalker.org/

    John Francis was in his twenties when a 1971 oil spill in San Francisco Bay jarred his comfortable life. Even as he joined the volunteers who scrubbed the beaches and fought to save birds and sea creatures poisoned by petroleum, he felt the need to make a deeper, more personal commitment.

    Since the end time and date for each Green Walker is decided by them I think you should keep walking in a westerly direction and join Jamie and I in Utah for October walking 350 miles for climate change awareness. Here is our website for the Beltway to the Backcountry project : http://www.thewildernessproject.com/


    Sound like we have a lot to talk about and we really do share a lot in common – loved your tattoos in the Polar Bear Sky Video - http://vimeo.com/groups/33907/videos/12326153.
