Dalton Green Seeks Earth Week Sponsors, Participants

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — Here comes the sun, and the Green Committee is finding ways to shine a light on environmental action with an Earth Week Celebration in April. Members are inviting sponsors and participants to join in supporting the event.
 
During the Select Board meeting on Monday, Kathy Perney, the Green Committee's public outreach and education chair, presented the weeklong festival that will culminate in an Environmental Spectacular Fair. 
 
"Planet Earth deserves more than a day, we are giving it a full week. It's still under what it deserves," she said.  
 
The celebration, scheduled for the week of April 19–25, will feature a variety of environmental themed activities and contests, some of which will feature prizes.
 
The Environmental Spectacular Fair will have information tabling from numerous green organizations and people. 
 
So far, they have been a member of the Green Air Coalition, Northern Berkshire Solid Waste Management, Alpine Solar, and more but are still looking for more. 
 
Those interested in tabling email the Earth Week organizers.
