Task Force meeting set for 1:30 p.m. Sunday

Hi CCTF friends...
Next Sunday is the regular Carbon Caps meeting. Meeting at the Omni office at 1:30. The agenda is attached. Love to see you there.

Put May 18 on your calendar. That Sunday, the Carbon Caps Task Force is hosting the Global Warming Commission at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Springdale from 2:30-5:00. We don't know yet how many Commissioners will get to attend, but keen interest is reported already. We plan for music, wine and light snacks, and some interesting people who need to hear from YOU. More information will be coming soon. Informal tours of St. Thomas' new wind turbines can be arranged. Please plan to come meet the Commissioners.

Thanks friends, see you Sunday.
Gladys

Keep the Water Where it Falls, Maintain the Habitat — Earth Day at World Peace Wetland Prairie

Fayetteville's Town Branch Neighborhood and the OMNI Center for Peace, Justice and Ecology have announced that the Fourth Earth Day Celebration since the Founding of World Peace Wetland Prairie, a city-owned nature park and natural rain garden in south Fayetteville, is planned for 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, April 20, 2008.
Nature walks will be led by local biologists and nature enthusiasts, highlighting Arkansas native plants and describing the value of natural wetland and its function for stormwater abatement and cleansing in an urban environment.
Information from founding organizations and area environmental groups will be offered as well as an opportunity to participate in planting trees, native grass and flowering plants and in helping remove Japanese honeysuckle, fescue and other non-native invasive species. Some small trees and possibly some flowering plants will be available for adoption.
Musicians and poets are invited to perform with acoustic instruments; and environmentally friendly songs and poems are especially welcome. Activities suitable for small children will be offered.
Bird-watchers are encouraged to come at dawn or stay until dark. Bring a camera or video recorder. Nice photo opportunities are likely.
The theme for 2008 is "Keep the Water Where it Falls, Maintain the Habitat."
