Its a “Red Wednesday” this week, according to the CVWMA. Please plan to put your recycling containers out this evening or tomorrow morning before 6 am and then move them back off the sidewalk by tomorrow evening. The City will also be picking up trash.
Here’s a recycling fact to ponder: Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours — or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline.
Quite a few residents of the neighborhood are members of the Sierra Club, which should come as no surprise given the neighborhood’s affinity for the river. The Sierra Club also has a history of speaking up for the neighborhood.
This Wednesday evening, 7 pm at the Science Museum of Virginia, the Sierra Club Falls of the James will be holding one of its regular monthly meetings. Its free and open to the public. This month’s meeting features a presentation called “My Journey of Discovery on the James River”, by Kaleigh Remaldo, an Open High student.
From the SCFOJ newsletter:
Kaleigh Remaldo, a student at Open High in Richmond, along with 20 other high schoolers in 2011, won a $50,000 Dominion Power grant to take a 28 day canoe trip from Covington to the Ches Bay, her “Journey of Discovery on the James River”. On their trip, they were to measure and map the relationship between land uses and water quality, keep journals, and record their experiences. This should be a unique presentation. Also, Glen Besa, our Virginia State Chapter Director, will provide our annual briefing on the General Assembly. Learn about the good, bad, and ugly legislation in the 2012 General Assembly.
