Today 6/5/21is World Environment Day; a day celebrated to encourage awareness and action for the protection of the environment. Working together, the Burroughs Center, Scott Burns NRZ, and Andrew Tyrrell of @blackrockcompostcompany are helping reduce and reuse food waste in our community. The compost program created five tons of rich soil to be put back into our community! Participants of the Black Rock Community Compost Program and the Burroughs Community Garden recently picked up their soil at Burroughs and look forward to a plentiful growing season. Also, in coordination with the Pollinator Pathways effort of Mardi Morrow and theBusiness Owners of Black Rock, soil was contributed for over 30 planters as part of the beautification effort along Fairfield Ave. Thanks to everyone involved for making this initiative possible!
Tomorrow 6/5/21 is World Environment Day; a nationally celebrated day to encourage awareness and action for the protection of the environment. Our Woven Community is excited to embark on a new partnership with Brad Kerner of @EcoEvolutionCo. A relatively new venture, Brad strives to inspire people to take small steps to be less wasteful and make everyday changes to help protect the environment. Did you know that all OWC products are made upcycled donated fabrics? The OWC Market Tote, our solution to the reusable shopping bag, will be available for purchase in the Evo Evolution Cooperative Market retail locations (South Norwalk - June and July; Fairfield - beginning in August). In addition to offering the opportunity for OWC to sell products in a retail space, Brad looks forward to offering the artists training on selling and marketing.

Sending out a huge "Thank you!" to Fairfield Girl Scout Troop 32286! The girls donated three sewing machines, scissors and rotary cutters to the Burroughs Our Woven Community program. You can't see the artists smiles, but they were huge! Such a nice surprise as the women started back at Burroughs in May.
