Joining others in their community to make a stink about climate change – a public demonstration and garlic planting work party showing both the public and politicians that even simple steps can move our communities towards sustainability and counter climate change. Read more below. |
In Nova Scotia most garlic in grocery stores comes from China, despite the fact that garlic grows very well in our climate. At ten o’clock on 10-10-10, as part of an international action on climate change, South Shore 350 will plant a bed of garlic at the Hodge Podge Community Garden in Bridgewater. The 45 minute event ( ie. 10-10:45 AM) ) will be a demonstration of how growing "the stinking rose" can be a positive move towards community sustainability at the same time as reducing carbon emissions. Garlic will be celebrated in poetry and song, and there's a rumour that Queen Garlic (and maybe a vampire or two) may make an appearance. Info on garlic folklore, growing tips and recipes will be added to the stew. A giant "garlicgram" will be signed by attendees and sent later sent to politicians urging decisive action on climate change. The first 50 attendees will receive two heads of garlic to plant at home.
Garlic grown from this year's planting will be used to promote further "garlic sustainability" in 2011.
If you're unable to come to the event, please support the project by planting an extra row in your own garden. Send us a photo and we'll include this in the "Making a Stink" publicity."
This is a followup action to the 350 event held in Bridgewater last year. See more at www.350.org/southshore350
