Heyyyy Sunrise Holland folks!
We hope you’re doing well, and thank you for tuning in to another bimonthly update!
Announcements
1.) Addressing the Plastics Crisis Event THIS WEEKEND!
WHEN: this Saturday (March 26th) at 3pm
WHERE: at the Herrick Main Library (300 S River Ave, Holland, MI, 49423)
WHAT: Sunrise Holland is doing an event about the plastics crisis!
We’re exploring some really powerful questions, such as: how did plastic pollution become such a massive issue, and what can we do as a community to restore the purity of our environment and care for the health of one another and ourselves? Should the plastics industry be responsible for preventing the plastic it produces from becoming pollution? And is it really the consumer's job to pick fix the plastics crisis by picking up litter?
Please attend, and if you have kids, bring them!! During the presentation there will be some youth activities happening, including: Kindness Rock Garden, plastic trash crafts/collage, pecycled pine wood frames (construct, paint, create picture), interactive simulation on plastics crisis, coloring pages, dirtboard display (showing what plastic materials thrown away by various historical figures would like like today).
Please learn more/register at the link below! 😊💕
2.) Composting Framework (Reminder!)
Back in December, we partnered with the Black River Green Team to begin work on a framework which any school can use to develop a composting program. We’re so thrilled that it’s published, and we’d love for you to check it out! If you know of any students/parents/teachers at other local schools who may be interested in this effort, please pass this along to them! 😊
3.) Meetings Postponed
To finish with an unfortunately disappointing announcement… Sunrise Holland subcommittee meetings will be postponed for a few weeks while we try to bring more people onboard our leadership team. Currently we only have one hub director who does all meeting and event programming and shares social media responsibilities with another social media person. Having only two people on our leadership team unfortunately limits the scope of what we’re able to do. However, please stay with us as we try to bring more leaders onboard. We’ll continue with our bimonthly updates so you’re always kept apprised of what’s going on with us. Thank you for your patience!
Thanks for tuning in for another set of updates! We’ll catch up with you soon, and in the meantime, please check out the info about our event this weekend- we hope to see many of you there! 😍
Best,
Hannah + the Sunrise Holland Team
