Want to know more about Arlington Community Electricity? Watch a video that the Green Team at Hardy Elementary School made.
Let’s be more specific: The video’s creator and presenter is 9-year-old Vega Pearl-Martinez.
The number involved with the Hardy team is unclear because of the pandemic, keeping members apart.
Consider some related environmental events:
The team’s coordinator, Rachel Oliveri, reports that on Saturday, April 3, from noon to 1 p.m., Habitat Belmont has an online Climate Cafe (for ages 10 and older), a gathering for people concerned about human-induced climate change, curious about exploring local solutions and interested in discussing the history of climate action from an intergenerational perspective. This is a conversation, not a lecture or an informational meeting. Share your experiences, worries, hopes and ideas, and to see what emerges when people with shared interests come together
