| | | | | | | | | Thank you to Keep Newark Beautiful for hosting our Green Week Launching event, National Clean-Up Day! So many volunteers showed up and showed out cleaning up the perimeter of Weequahic Park. A great reminder to not litter, report illegal dumping, and keep our Newark community clean.
| | | A special thank you to the volunteers, Sabrina Ross, Keep Newark Beautiful team, and Weequahic Park Association for hosting the event!
| | | | | | | | | | | Thank you to Clean Water Action for hosting a Tea on Toxic Beauty Workshop during Green Week! An amazing educational workshop covering pollutants in our everyday beauty products. Educating on label-reading, hidden harmful chemicals that build up in our bodies and environment, and a DIY body butter and lip balm workshop.
