Tacoma, Wash. – The 34th annual Earth Day promises exciting things in the City of Tacoma. Local businesses, such as Ubiquitous Journey (Ubi’s) on Sixth Avenue, will be celebrating this important holiday in unique ways. As a purveyor of high-quality herbs, spices and teas, owner Robyn Liss, is dedicated to bringing responsibly sourced goods to the community. In line with her vision for her business, Liss has planned a day focused on environmental education with three free classes for the community to attend.
April 22nd festivities at Ubi’s begin with a presentation from the City of Tacoma at 3:30p.m. Attendees will be learning about the programs the city has to offer for recycling. As reported by www.dosomething.org, 75 percent of waste created in the U.S. is recyclable, yet we only recycle 30 percent; leaving a staggering 45 percent to be sent to landfills. Tacoma’s programs include food, yard and recyclable materials for residents and businesses to help reduce the impact of green house gasses and other environmental risks created by garbage.
At 4:15p.m. local horticulturist, herbalist and Tacoma Weekly columnist, Kerri Bailey, will offer a class about organic gardening at home. He second class on green cleaning will begin At 5:00p.m. Both classes are designed to provide attendees with useful takeaways that can easily be put into practice: tips for killing weeds and pests without pesticides and making your own non-toxic cleaning products.
