Happy Earth Month, Swifters!
We’ll be encouraging you all month long to consider ways to help our precious home. Use cloth bags instead of plastic. Turn off lights and water you aren’t using. Thrift and avoid buying new. And come join us for a special edition of our weekly Tuesday Trails on April 22 to help us clean up our beloved Skokie Valley Line path with the Village of Skokie’s #CleanGreenSkokie initiative! We’ll provide the supplies; you provide the enthusiasm. Let’s take care of Mother Earth, together!
