Howard County Recreation and Parks is no longer going to install artificial turf fields at East Columbia Library Park as originally planned! Let's hope this is going to be their policy moving forward to not convert grass fields to artificial turf!

Repairing instead of buying new reduces plastics since most items are made of plastic, come wrapped in plastic and/or are shipped in plastic. There's a repair cafe from 3-5 tomorrow (7/8) at Freetown Farm; bring items needing to be fixed. Hike at Robinson Nature Center afterwards

.@WholeFoods may have a reputation for sustainable food, but the brand has lost focus in its commitment to reduce plastic packaging. It's time for the popular grocery chain to start walking the walk again. @thehill @saul_elbein @uspirg @EnvAm
