Kicking Off Earth Week

Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656 

On April 22nd of each year, Earth Day comes around as a way to promote an environmental movement to help people become aware of the term “going green.” 

Some people get together with groups of friends, colleagues and family and plant trees, help clean up parks and present art shows. Some colleges are having Earth Week, which will allow students to do projects to make their campuses more beautiful.

“Our nature is starting to slowly decrease because we’re getting all these houses and malls,” Endless Mountains Nature Center volunteer coordinator Jessica Fasulo said. “We’re just trying to clean up the small part of nature that we do have.”

Lingering damage from last September’s flooding was removed by Nature Center volunteers on Sunday in Tunkhannock, including the remains of a trailer that washed onto one of the islands near the center (http://goo.gl/zDAVQ).

According to Fasulo, the metal and scrap were lying on top of flowers, which was preventing them from growing. With a little TLC, these flowers should be back up and blooming in no time.

If you have any questions or need some scrap metal picked up, give us a call at 718-416-1656 or visit www.borowide.com.
