Earth Day Activities Being Planned at Our Lady of the Sierra in Arnold in Celebration of "Earth Day!"
Arnold, CA...."Our Lady of Sierra of Arnold, "Care for God's Creation" is a group that offers parish members a way to take care of the poor environmental issues. My mom started a battery recycling program at her church the year after my dad died. She said that if she didn't have a purpose then, she would not be here today. Now it is 3.5 years later and she has just hit 20,000 batteries from her church in Alameda. I decided to follow in her.....
footsteps and start the program up here last year. Both of us were part of the original Earth Day movement and have never stopped caring for mother earth. I have had to find alternate, safe ways to still participate. This battery collection program is my contribution for Earth Day 2009. It is a great way for my mom and I to reconnect to our past and bring it forward."
In honor of Earth Day we will be collecting household batteries for recycling.
I will be at Our Lady of Sierra on:
April 18th, 4-5 pm
April 19th, 9-10 am
April 25th, 4-5 pm
April 26th, 9-10 a.m.
If anyone wants to drop off use, household batteries, we welcome them!
