Fellowship of the Green + The Next Meeting Date

Hey everyone,
The next meeting will be March 18th, at the Lewis County Career Center!

And now... THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE GREEN! At the last meeting, we discussed the projects-in-the-works by the Green Initiative. We are in the process of creating a community garden, where the community can come and garden, but we think you knew that. As of right now, it is a very small effort. So if you can help or contribute, seeds or related materials, it would be greatly appreciated. Just leave a comment below if you can.

A very, in-the-works project is "Complementary Currency". We cannot go into detail, as of right now, but it is an effort to centralize capital. It will also encourage support of local business.

Green Waste Management is a very exciting project! This is a local path to use the non- toxic waste to create wetlands which will give back to the eco- system and make homes for our wildlife.

These are just a few projects we are working on. There are many more that we could talk about but, we need a reason to post again! Not really! But yes, there are other projects we are working on.

God bless, and live green!
