Ok, so we've just finished the flurry of Earth Day events. Happy 35th anniversary! It's pretty cool to remember that the Ecology Center Berkeley began (along with many other Ecology Centers) with that first earth day. 35 years later, we're still around, still doing fantastic, visionary work, and still expanding!
Berkeley Earth Day was nice - but it rained. We were prepared, however, so there was no book wetting going on. It was a good excuse to bring out some stuff that doesn't usually get to go to the park with us. Glass - not only is it recycled, but it's water proof! So, we had a 'waterproof stuff' table that was not completely protected by our tents, and a book table that was. It was fun! I also got to go to Oakland Earth Day this year - a shorter event right outside city hall. Somehow, even though it was shorter, I feel like I got to talk to more people. So, if you're one of them, I hope you'll come in and see the Resource Center.
Last weekend, I also got out to a Simplicity conference. 'Living More With Less" good idea. Saw some of the usual EC crowd there, but many new faces, and I got a bunch of books specifically for the conference. Some of them are really good. Check them out online - I changed the 'sustainable living' list on our webstore to 'simple living' for a while to make thme more visible.
have a great May!
