Big Sunday turns a little Green
The largest annual citywide community service event in America, Big Sunday, is this weekend and they are looking for volunteers. Actually it takes place over the entire weekend. Big Sunday mobilizes and organizes volunteers all over the city to do an array of projects. There are so many different events to volunteer for from helping to paint a neighborhood school, planting a vegetable garden for troubled youths to helping out at the regional food bank.
At least 50 of these Big Sunday projects will be specifically targeted to helping the environment. So...Green Sunday. Sounds great!
There are events all weekend long all over the city from downtown to Acton. Please go to the website and sign up to volunteer. When you volunteer you get as much as you give, I speak from personal experience.
About this blog
Roxanne Kotzman is a Daily News Photo Department veteran of nine years. When she and longtime friend Stacy Long
discovered their love all of all things environmentally responsible, they launched Happy Monkey Planet and jumped head-first into the vibrant eco-community.
Wow, so much to learn! But initially the idea is a pretty simple one: Let's change the world through information, education and action.
Rox & Stacy are a lot like you: ecologically minded but sometimes just plain overwhelmed when charged with the task of making a far-reaching difference in the environment. They have jobs, families, homes, lives and pets.
But what if doing better was a simple as a light-bulb change, a reusable canvas grocery bag, recycling that soda can or a cold-water wash?
These eco-chicks just hope to have a little fun, learn a little more, share a lot of information and maybe make the planet a happier, greener, cleaner place.
