Last month was the kick off of a series of greening educational events brought to our region by the nonprofit Green Michigan in partnership with the West Michigan Environmental Action Council (WMEAC) and Long Road Distillers. As we witnessed in March for their composting teach-in at the popular award-winning westside tasting room, these events are very popular with area residents…and tickets often sell out.
In honor of Earth Day (arriving April 22nd) and also celebrating April as Earth Month, Green Michigan with WMEAC returns to Long Road Distillers with an event focused on the general topic of “
How to Go Green.”
This new Sunday afternoon showcase is a hands-on event with various tips and tricks to assist one in learning to live a more intentional sustainable lifestyle. Topics will include recycling, composting, energy reduction, purchasing habits, and much more.
Green Michigan’s mission is to help people, businesses, and organizations with their sustainability goals. And while they have a comprehensive website with all sorts of environmental information relevant to West Michigan, these workshops led by Angela Fox, the education and community director at Green Michigan, are a relaxing way to learn something new while getting your local drink on.
But don’t delay registering -- at only $5 per attendee, these greening events do sell out. To gain admission, please visit this
