Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
We have a hunch that in a past life, we were a virgin thrown into a volcano. We must still hold a grudge, because that’s the last time we sacrificed our comfort for Mother Earth. These days, we can barely muster the energy to recycle our yogurt containers, let alone bring our freaking reusable shopping bags to Publix. And while there’s a big difference between laziness and aggressive ill will toward nature, the consequences are the same: polluted waterways, overflowing landfills, angry Al Gores.
Absolve yourself from all green-hued sins this Sunday at EarthFest 2011. Your pittance involves learning how to compost using worms, how to ferment your own food, and why good food is the best universal health care. Bring any electronics that need recycling as well as your yoga mat. Your absolution will be scored by the mood-altering sounds of local bands such as Felicia Rose, Sky Door 34, Franklyn’s Wheel, Jahfe, and Agape. EarthFest 2011 takes over Crandon Park from noon until sundown.
