National Public Lands Day

Sept 26 is National Public Lands Day. All over the country people are getting together and cleaning up the national areas we share, building trails and planting plants. Find a neat project near you.

Texas Public Radio is doing a planting project in San Antonio in Voelcker Park. They need 200 volunteers to plant over 50,000 (!) plugs of native grasses and wildflowers to restore the park.

Here's a quick list to the options in Texas. San Antonio is also hosting a graffiti wipe out event every Saturday in September. In case you want to get a jump on cleaning up the town this weekend. I bet you can meet some cool people.

I starting writing a long rant here about the environment but hell its Friday. I will just leave you with this quote.

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money.
