September is a busy month with Broomfield Days and National Public Lands Day. The BUMC Green Team invites you to serve the Broomfield community during these awesome events!
Broomfield Days 2011 on September 17 will again strive to be a zero-waste event. At Broomfield Days 2009, 83 percent of all waste produced at the festival was diverted from the landfill, meaning all but 17 percent of waste was not recycled or composted. It takes a lot of volunteers to navigate festival-goers in the “green zones” - areas where trash is separated into recycle, compost and landfill bins.
- More than 120 volunteers are needed to navigate these “green zones.”
- Volunteers will need to attend a training session on Sept. 8 or 10.
- Contact Kyle Denny at kyledenny10@gmail.com for more details and to sign up.
Celebrate National Public Lands Day on September 24 from 9am to 2pm by removing noxious weeds and replacing them with trees and plants at the Big Dry Creek Open Space on 128th Avenue. This is a team effort between REI and the city of Westminster.
- Volunteers should bring gloves and a water bottle. Lunch is provided.
- People of all ages are welcome. Those with young children at least six years old are encouraged to involve them for the tree planting component.
- Contact Kyle Denny at kyledenny10@gmail.com for more details and to sign up.
The Green Team looks forward to seeing you at one, or both, of these events!
God Bless!
