Dick Pierce Talk this Weekend!

[Rachel Butler]

An interesting, unusual, unique opportunity for Gardeners, Sustainability Folks, the Green Team, the Environmentally-minded, and their children, grandchildren,.....parents, grand-parents and friends. Come and see for yourself - Saturday, June 19. See Nationally acclaimed photographer, Chris Jordan's Beautiful, Powerful, Moving, Alarming Photo Exhibit of the Waste Stream in America at the Austin Museum of Art - Downtown at 9th and Congress from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The art is beautiful - the message is clear - the mess is monumental - the next move is ours. See the web site at www.amoa.org.

Then at 2:00 PM, please join us for a fun, free, informative presentation by Dick Pierce: "Trash, Waste, Landfills - What can we do about it?" - An Introduction to Nature's Recycling (Compost), Re-use

(Gardening), and Reduce (Local Food). We, individually and collectivelly, have the ability to fix the problem of "drowning in our own trash" that Chris Jordan so graphically portrays. Come and listen this Saturday and then
think about your plan to be ready for your Fall Garden and divert up to 40% of your waste stream from the landfill to your compost pile and your garden.

See you at 2:00 this Saturday, June 19th at the AMOA at 9th and Congress. Why not go to a Farmers Market,
have lunch, then to the Museum for the exhibit before the presentation at 2:00. A great morning at the market and a nice cool afternoon at the museum.

A right good plan, hey? Brand new or experienced Gardener/Composter - you'll all take away some ieas for the fall.
