April is Earth Art Bainbridge month – an ongoing community effort to learn about climate change through art. Join Nature Nuts during spring break as we piece together a great puzzle – What is happening to our climate? By working together to create a collaborative masterpiece, making individual craft projects, and connecting with nature during our daily adventures, we will learn what our planet needs to stay healthy. If you love the Earth, then this is the camp for you!
On Monday mornings in April, KiDiMu invites families to celebrate Earth through art. Children and their grown-ups will enjoy a new eco-themed art project each week. Messy experimentation and sensory exploration will not only be allowed but also encouraged. Drop by anytime between 10:30 and 11:30 a.m.
This program is presented in partnership with the island-wide Earth Art Bainbridge event. No registration necessary. Free with admission or membership. Info: (206)855-4650 or www.kidimu.org.

When people talk about technologies that might offset climate change, they often evoke complex and expensive methods that are just too expensive for most cities, or individuals to implement. However, there is a comparatively low cost method with little risk that can effect climate change –one that all of us can easily participate in. It is called Trees! Planting trees remains one of the cheapest and most effective means of removing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (Carbon sequestration).
One tree shading a home in the city will save fossil fuel and cut carbon dioxide reducing the “Greenhouse Effect”. A single mature tree can absorb carbon dioxide @ 48 lbs/year and release enough oxygen into the atmosphere to support 2 human beings. If every American family planted just one tree, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would be reduced by one billion lbs. annually.
These are just some of the effects of planting trees that will be discussed in this talk as well as what efforts are taking place globally to save trees – and to plant more trees to mitigate climate change.
