Annual Earth Day Shines
Complimentary Bike Cleaning and Tune-Ups
On Saturday April 18th attendants of COA’s annual Earth Day extravaganza were asked to consider this question. That day they were supporting local businesses, buying used books and other knickknacks and listening to the Big Moose Band on the Red Bricks. The event saw lots sunshine and smiles. For the kids there was story time and arts and crafts from recycled materials, all while learning about how they can best help the planet. For the graduates of story time there were panel discussions on sustainability, outdoor education, green business, green energy and what to consider when buying and selling food. Ben Cowie-Haskell a COA graduate of 1984 was the speaker of the day. Cowie-Haskell is the superintendent of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, New England’s only national marine sanctuary. Overall the day was a success and everyone placed their trash in the proper receptacle. Photos Courtesy of Rebecca Woods
