WCC: Earth Day

The Eastern Echo – Eastern Michigan University’s student newspaper – publishes a report on Sunday’s Earth Day Festival held at Washtenaw Community College. The event featured music, exhibits and an “All Species” parade. The article quotes several exhibitors, including Lisa Bashert of the Ypsilanti Food Co-op: “The Food Co-op is doing a beekeeping project this summer where we’re having five hives. The goal of the beekeeping is that we’re going to train beekeepers to have their own small holdings. Hopefully they’ll sell their honey back to the Food Co-op so we’ll have a source of local honey.” [Source]
