May 31, 2008 - First (We Hate Bottled) Water Run/Walk Off


Carolyn Ranti and friends are organizing a race/walk in Newton this Saturday as their Environmental Service Project for AP Biology. The event will be held at Cold Spring Park and includes a 5K race (two loops of the Park) or 2.5K walk (one loop).

The event is intended to bring attention to the negative environmental impact of using bottled water in situations where safe municipal water supplies are available. There is no entry fee to race or walk, but the organizers are asking for small donations to benefit Newton's Green Decade Coalition.

Sign up at 2:00 on Saturday. The race starts at 2:30. There will be a table at the end of the parking lot (there will be signs directing people).

I plan to be there and it would be great to see other readers of the blog there!
