SUMMARY:Island-wide Litter Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:April is Earth Month\, so choose a day to go out and pick up a nearby roadway or trash-strewn area. Maybe you’ll make it a habit and have it become official by adopting a stretch of road to clean up on a regular basis through the City of Bainbridge Island’s Adopt a Spot program. \nIf you don’t have your own grabber\, trash bags and disposal method\, here’s what you can do: \n\nBorrow a grabber from BI Zero Waste. Email Diane Landry to inquire.\nPick up white trash bags at Bainbridge Disposal’s Coppertop office\, 9423 NE Business Park Ln.\, even outside of business hours. (See photo below of bin containing litter bags.) Take a litter cleanup guideline sheet from the bin\, too.\nFill up bag(s) with roadside litter and place next to your own or a neighbor’s (with permission) trash can\, and during April it will be picked up for free. Or you can drop off the designated litter bag(s) for free at the Bainbridge Disposal Transfer Station during April.\nFill up regular trash bags with recyclables and dispose of relatively clean\, non-flat cans and bottles in your regular recycling. Read below for what to do with dirty or flat cans and bottles.\n\n \nLitter Pick-up Guidelines\nBefore you start \n\nChoose a roadway or lot.\nWear bright\, reflective clothing if picking up along a road.\nUse the white Kitsap trash bag if you want to dispose of litter for free.\nBorrow a grabber\, if you like\, from Zero Waste. Request from bizerowaste@sustainablebainbridge.org.\n\nWhen you finish \n\nSet your white Kitsap bag of trash next to a regular garbage can (with permission if not yours) or take to the transfer station and let the booth attendant know how many bags you have. Bainbridge Disposal is tracking how many bags are collected.\nEmpty your bag of recyclables into your curbside recycling cart. (Do not recycle the plastic bag in the cart.)\nPlease send bizerowaste@sustainablebainbridge.org a short email to say…\n\n\nGeneral location of pick-up\nName of group or organization if a collective clean-up\nNumber of bags of trash\nNumber of bags of recyclables\nOptional:  any photos or anecdotes\n\nWhat to do with certain recyclables you pick up \n\nDirt-filled glass bottles – Put in trash.\nDirty\, cracked plastic bottles – Put in trash.\nLiquid-filled bottles that you can’t empty – Put in trash.\nDirt-filled aluminum cans – Put in trash.\nCompletely flat aluminum cans – Recycle in scrap metal at the BI Senior/Community Center or transfer station or put in the trash. (If flat cans get put in curbside recycling\, they tend to get separated with paper at the sorting facility\,  contaminating the paper stream.)\n\nGeneral safety guidelines \n\nDo not pick up anything hazardous\, sharp\, large or heavy. This includes needles (even if they’re contained)\, chemical containers with liquids\, containers with unknown liquids\, furniture\, tires\, etc.\nWe don’t encourage anyone to empty containers for recycling because they may contain needles or biohazardous liquid.\nHighway cleanups are not advised.\nHigh-vis is required for roadsides.\n\nThank you for helping to keep Bainbridge Island litter-free!

SUMMARY:SB Partner: KEC Presents "Water in Nature-Working with Its Connectivity"
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER:  \nJohn Williams\, Publisher of Salish Magazine \nAn exploration of the many facets of our local marine and freshwater – as habitat\, a transportation medium\, a food delivery system\, and an important\npart of the chemical processes of living things. We identify relationships in the ecosystem and see the ecosystem itself as a complex system. This has implications for how we approach managing nature and our impact on it—how do we avoid unintended consequences when we finite humans are making decisions about something that is infinitely complex? \nFOOD DONATION: Bring a food donation for Fishline & ShareNet (canned or boxed – see food list) \nSNACKS: Share your favorites (cookies\, desserts)
