Earth Month Bainbridge Island! (WU-595)

Diane Landry of BI Zero Waste, Barb Trafton of the Parks Foundation and Morgan Houk from the Metro Parks District join us today on What’s Up Bainbridge to discuss the many events planned in April as we celebrate Earth Month Bainbridge Island. With the strong leadership and direction from Sustainable Bainbridge, over 30 events are planned in partnership with many non-profits to raise awareness and encourage involvement to protect our trees, our island and our planet.

Diane, Barb and Morgan, all well-spoken local environmental leaders enthusiastically share many aspects of the month, designed to appeal to the entire Bainbridge Community.

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
