Gabreil Dawe uses ma ny miles of colored thread to weave his site specific installations. Dawe manufactured a large needle-like tool to hook and move the thread\, which forms patterns that mimic beams of light through a prism. Each installatio n takes tremendous amounts of time\, patience and deliberation\, and the r esult is simply spectacular. Matthew Brandt's experimental photography is  fearless\, playful\, and process driven\, pushing and pulling on photogr aphy’s parameters. In an era of the ubiquitous digital image\, he upends the very idea of the medium’s core characteristic—its reproducibility —by making each work unique. Amy Cutler: For well over a decade artist Amy Cutler has crafted puzzling narratives with pencil\, brush and printin g press. Each work is a small world in which remarkable events take place. Kristin Skees is a local artist who ties them all together.\n\n\n\n\nEmai l:\ninfo@virginiamoca.org\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://keepvirginiabeautiful.org/wp-content/upl oads/2014/11/Screen-Shot-2014-11-17-at-2.34.37-PM.png CATEGORIES:Virginia Events LOCATION:Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art\, 2200 Parks Avenue\, Virginia Beach\, Virginia\, 23451\, United States GEO:36.8489069;-75.98799869999999 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=2200 Parks Avenue\, Virgini a Beach\, Virginia\, 23451\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Virg inia Museum of Contemporary Art:geo:36.8489069,-75.98799869999999 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:893@keepvirginiabeautiful.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20141117T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20141117T203000 DTSTAMP:20141104T164900Z URL:https://keepvirginiabeautiful.org/events-va/herbal-vinegars-and-oils/ SUMMARY:Herbal Vinegars and Oils DESCRIPTION:Herbal Vinegars and Oils.

This 14th an nual clean up is accomplished by teams and individuals going out on our ri vers\, streams and ditches\, parking lots\, even your yard or wherever\, a nd picking up litter\, trash and other junk.  To date we have removed ove r 86\,000 pounds of trash from our little piece of the world. CRD is a gre at opportunity for folks to contribute to the health of the community we l ive in.  As always I will have litter getters and bags for those who need them.  Teams or individuals can pick their own locations or I can find y ou one.  Look for places like where roads cross a stream\, places where t he trash could be carried to the rivers. If you pick your own location it is very important that you let me know where that is so I will not send an other team there. My advice is to go ahead and start looking around at riv er and swamp bridge crossings or ditches etc. in your area as a place for you or your team to clean up.  Teams can pick what time of day they want to work and how long. Teams need to keep count of bag and participant tota ls\, totals of tires etc. and send that information to me after the clean- up. Make note of your “most unusual item found” and be sure to take pi ctures to send to me. More details will follow when you sign up. Email me at blknotkpr@earthlink.net or call me at 562-5173 to get signed up.  This is a great community event to get involved in. Please put this date on yo ur organizations Calendar now.

They built Wall Street. They built the White House. Slavery was not just some kind of unfortunate regional quirk—it was an economic eng ine for the entire country. Then Jim Crow laws brought a century of state- sponsored terror against Black people intending to maintain the prewar rac ial hierarchy.\n\n \;\n\nThe past matters. There’s a direct line fro m slavery to the fact that the average Black family has only 10 cents fo r every dollar held by the average white family. There’s a direct line f rom slavery to the fact that Black people\, while only 13% of the overall population\, make up 40% of the prison population. Slavery isn’t someth ing from the distant past—its impact is felt and seen right now\, partic ularly by Black Americans\, every single day.\n\n \;\n\nJoin us on th e Slave Trail as we recognize these disadvantages that Black America still has today and pay homage to some of the organizations that aid those impa cted by systematic imprisonment.\n\n \n\nThe first 35 walkers will receiv e tickets for fish dinners courtesy of Friends of William Burnette for Sh eriff and Transforming Today’s Youth\, to be picked up or delivered on F riday\, October 24th. \n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://keepvirginiabeautiful.org/wp-content/upl oads/2020/10/Image-LWTF-chain-breaking.jpg LOCATION:Slave Trail\, Manchester Dock\, Ancarrow's Landin\, Off Maury Stre et\, Richmond\, Virginia\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Off Maury Street\, Richmond \, Virginia\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Slave Trail\, Manch ester Dock\, Ancarrow's Landin:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2322@keepvirginiabeautiful.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201024T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201024T170000 DTSTAMP:20200910T212701Z URL:https://keepvirginiabeautiful.org/events-va/schools-appearance-index/ SUMMARY:Schools Appearance Index DESCRIPTION:The Schools Appearance Index is an annual event in which volunt eers visit all 32 public schools to evaluate them on appearance and solid waste handling.

Spanning three continents\, the film illustrates the ongoing catastrophe : fields full of garbage\, veritable mountains of trash\, rivers and seas clogged with waste\, and skies choked with the poisonous emissions from pl astic production and processing.

In ecosystems around the world\, scientists are making use of “camera traps” to obtain critical data ab out wildlife and their habitats. While this may sound menacing\, these har mless conservation tools are in fact simple cameras\, armed with sensors t hat capture a photo whenever they sense movement in the area. These device s operate 24 hours a day\, 7 days a week\, and can help researchers gather a large amount of information – often capturing amazing photos in the p rocess.\n\nOn the Blue Ridge Parkway\, park biologists are using camera tr aps to assess the distribution of medium and large mammals. They are also monitoring wildlife use of natural and artificial water sources and other unique habitats along the 469-mile route.\n\nDuring this 30-minute webinar \, Parkway Biologist Tom Davis will give you a behind-the-scenes look at h ow park staff use camera traps to study wildlife. Davis’s webinar will i nclude plenty of images and videos of bears\, white-tailed deer\, bobcats\ , coyotes\, raccoon\, opossum\, skunks\, and even birds captured on the pa rk’s many camera traps!

Why is this important? Due to a lack of FDA regulation\, menstrual care brands are not required to disclose product i ngredients\; this is concerning due the regularity with which female-ident ifying individuals use menstrual products. Most tampons and pads include p roblematic chemicals and generate mass amounts of waste through manufactur ing and disposal. Unlike many other essential personal hygiene products\, feminine care products are expensive and not exempt from sales tax which c reates economic inequities stemming from individuals’ gender assigned at birth. These issues surrounding menstrual products such as cost\, chemica l harm\, and access disproportionately affect marginalized and underserved communities. As part of this event\, we will be handing out free menstrua l cups to help spread awareness about safe feminine-care alternatives. Fun ding for the menstrual cups generously came from UVA's Equity &\; Envir onment Fund. We look forward to hosting passionate speakers to lead partic ipants in discussions about taboo topics as we introduce the community to safer and more accessible alternatives.

Aft er registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing informat ion about joining the talk.\n\nCuban-American artist Teresita Fernández\, who is based in New York\, creates immersive\, sculptural installations a nd monumental public projects defined by a rethinking of landscape that em phasizes the connection between place and material. Using gold\, malachite \, graphite\, ironore\, and other minerals that have loaded ties to coloni zation\, she exposes the hidden histories of violence embedded in the land scape. Her subtle\, conceptual practice is characterized by a quiet unrave ling of site\, power\, visibility\, and erasure in which she layers divers e cultural references to unearth what she calls “stacked landscapes.”\ n\nIn her recent show Maelstrom\, at Lehmann Maupin\, Fernández created works that unapologetically visualize the enduring violence and devastatio n ignited by colonization. Focusing on the Caribbean archipelago—the fir st point of colonial contact in the Americas—the works in the show chall enge viewers to consider a more nuanced reading of people and place\, one that looks beyond dominant\, continental narratives and instead considers the region as emblematic of an expansive and decentralized state of mind. The artist conjures images of catastrophic weather and natural disasters a s metaphors for centuries of injustice\, US military intervention\, ecolog ical destruction\, and systemic oppression as a means of reflecting on the sociopolitical turmoil and abandon to which the region and its population s have been (and continue to be) subjected.\n\nFernández joins Hirshhorn associate curator Marina Isgro to discuss how she brings together concepts \, materials\, rigorous research\, and evocative imagery.\n\nSCHEDULE\n6:5 0 pm EDT | Zoom broadcast opens\n7 pm EDT | Teresita Fernández in conve rsation with Marina Isgro\n\nASL translation will be provided on Zoom and  CART (real-time captioning) will be provided across all platforms.

Days like Jamboree on the Air and Internet\, Jamboree on the Trail\, Trees for the World\, World Neckerchief Day\, but there was not a day for Scouts to all get together and clean up their communities. Thus Scouts Trash the Trash Day was started. Scouts ar e asked to bring a non-scout with them on this day of service in order to double the impact of their trash cleaning effort.\n\nScouts Trash the Tras h Day is about more than just cleaning our planet\, it is a day to show th e world what Scouting is about\, educate individuals about Scouting and re cruit new boys\, girls and adults into the Scouting movement.\n\nTo partic ipate in this day of service\, Scout groups are asked to organize their ow n trash clean up day on the First Saturday in May.\n\nScout groups do not need to register for this event\, but we ask you to in order to measure th e impact of Scouts on this world trash clean up event.\n\n \nFACEBOOK\nfa cebook.com/scoutstrash\n \nTWITTER\ntwitter.com/scoutstrash\n \nYOUTUBE\ nScouts Trash the Trash Day\n \nEMAIL\nhi@scoutstrashthetrashday.org\n\n& nbsp\;\n\nWebsite:  https://scoutstrashthetrashday.org/ CATEGORIES:Virginia Events LOCATION:Virtual\, Virtual\, Virtual\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Virtual\, Virtual\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Virtual:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2429@keepvirginiabeautiful.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210501T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210501T000000 DTSTAMP:20210415T173455Z URL:https://keepvirginiabeautiful.org/events-va/19th-annual-oyster-celebra tion/ SUMMARY:19th Annual Oyster Celebration DESCRIPTION:\n19th Annual Oyster Celebration Saturday May 1\, 2021\n\n\n\n\ nCalling All Oyster Huggers!\n\nOur spring Oyster Celebration is a little different this year.  Although we will not be able to gather for the trad itional LRNow Oyster Roast\, we will still be able to celebrate together b ut in a new and exciting way.\n\nOrder your dinner or appetizer package\, choose a time to pick it up from our location at The View at Rudee Inlet\ , and then join us online from 7-8 PM for a fun\, educational and interac tive virtual program. During the program we will announce the raffle tick et winners and have planned other exciting surprises we hope you will enjo y!\n\nPurchase your tickets today and don’t forget to check out our exc lusive Oyster Hugger store including hand-made items thanks to our incre dible oyster chicks!\n\nAll of the funds raised by this event go to suppor t our terrific education and outreach programs.  \n\nTogether we are mak ing a difference.\n\n**Please do not hesitate to call 757-962-5398 if you have any questions or would like a staff member to assist you with ticket purchases.\n\n CATEGORIES:Virginia Events LOCATION:Virtual\, Virtual\, Virtual\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Virtual\, Virtual\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Virtual:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2435@keepvirginiabeautiful.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210501T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210501T120000 DTSTAMP:20210418T220638Z URL:https://keepvirginiabeautiful.org/events-va/york-poquoson-master-garde ners-plant-sale/ SUMMARY:York-Poquoson Master Gardeners Plant Sale DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nYork-Poquoson Master Gardeners Plant Sale\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nSAVE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe York/Poquoson Master Gardeners Sprin g Plant Sale will be held on Saturday\, May 1\, 2021\, from 8:00 am to N oon at the York Learning Garden – 301 Goodwin Neck Rd\, Yorktown.

They also recognize the root of the problem is i n an extractive economy that exploits the planet and people for profit. As climate change increases the pressures on our ecological\, political and social structures\, grassroots community-driven movements that utilize par ticipatory public art and transformative cultural practices are even more essential for change.\n\n \;\n\nThe Mural Arts Institute is hosting a virtual and free week-long symposium looking at the transformative work ha ppening at the intersection of community-based cultural practice and envir onmental justice. The COVID-19 pandemic has further stressed the same comm unities already grappling with acute climate and environmental crises\, bo th economically and in terms of inequitable health care access and outcome s. The compounding injustices of our social systems and extractive economi c model are unsustainable and impossible to ignore any longer. Calls for t ransformative change are growing louder. In times like these\, the essenti al roles that artists and cultural workers play in communities becomes cle ar including helping us heal\, stay connected\, make meaning out of pain\, imagine our better future together\, and take collective action.\n\n  \;\n\nThis annual symposium invites artists\, activists\, scientists\, sch olars and governmental officials to discuss how creative people and practi ces are helping us meet the challenges of this moment\, and how we can bui ld on that to make a just transition a reality. These changemakers will be logging in from Tribal\, urban\, rural\, and suburban communities through out the nation for this virtual symposium during the week of May 17-21\, 2 021\, during 12:00-5:00 PM EST. Mark your calendars and sign up to make su re to get updates and the full agenda.\n\nThe Symposium has been strategiz ed and designed in collaboration with Alexis Frasz and Helicon Collaborati ve. The Mural Arts Institute is supported by The JPB Foundation\, The Kres ge Foundation\, and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Media sponsorship is provided by Next City and Grist.\n\n \;\nSchedule of Events:\n \;\ nOpening Symposium Remarks\nMonday\, May 17th\n\n12:30-1:00pm EDT\n\nJane Golden\, Founder and Executive Director of Mural Arts PhiladelphiaPhiladel phia City Councilmember Kendra Brooks\nThe Cultures of a Just Transition\n OPENING KEYNOTE\n\nMonday\, May 17th\n\n1:00-2:30pm EDT\n\nJoin a conversa tion with leaders in movements for native sovereignty\, disability justice and climate justice to talk about why following the leadership from those most historically marginalized is the key to creating a better future for all of us. They will also talk about how deeply rooted cultural values an d creative practices inform and guide their work. Speakers include Judith LeBlanc (Native Organizers Alliance\, NDN Collective\, The Natural History Museum)\, Michelle Mascarenhas-Swan (Movement Generation\, Climate Justic e Alliance)\, Patty Berne (Sins Invalid). This conversation will be modera ted by Alexis Frasz of Helicon Collaborative. \;\nLand and Liberation: \nEcological Freedom as Creative Practice\nTuesday\, May 18th\n\n1:00-2:30 pm EDT\n\nPursuing food sovereignty through community agriculture is a way of life. Land based practices can also be liberatory\, rooted in resistan ce and self determination. From Indigenous calls for Land Back\, to repara tions for ancestors of slaves and the Black freedom farmer movement\, to r efugees sewing seeds in their clothing to bring to their new communities - agriculture and community sovereignty go hand in hand. Join Indigenous ar tists and activists Christina Castro co-founder of Three Sisters Collectiv e and Israel Haros co-founder of Alas de Agua Art Collective from Oga Po ’ogeh (Santa Fe\, New Mexico) in conversation with Carlton Turner\, Lead Artist and Director of Sipp Culture as they explore the intersection of f arming and creative community-based practices. This conversation will be m oderated by Philadelphia City Councilmember At-Large\, Kendra Brooks.  \;\nClimate and the Carceral State:\nImagining an Abolitionist Future\nTue sday\, May 18th\n\n3:00-4:30pm EDT\n\nJoin Police Free Penn and Fossil Fre e Penn for a presentation and creative workshop envisioning environmental and racial justice together.The roads to racial justice and climate justic e are one and the same. This event makes the case that neither climate jus tice nor police and prison abolition can be achieved without the other. We will explore how these movements can work together for a more just and su stainable future. How is the fossil fuel industry tied to institutions of policing and incarceration? What does justice look like for the environmen t\, and all of those who inhabit it? What can art\, creativity\, and imagi nation contribute to abolitionism and climate justice? This workshop will be creative and interactive. Please bring a writing utensil\, collage mate rials\, or creative medium of your choice with you to this interactive wor kshop. This workshop will be led by Police Free Penn and Fossil Free Penn and moderated by Katelyn Rivas\, poet and Manager of the Public Art &\; Civic Engagement Capacity Building Initiative at the Mural Arts Institute . \;\nClean Air + Equity During a Global Pandemic\nWednesday\, May 19t h\n\n1:00-2:30pm EDT\n\nThe interconnectedness of our ecological\, social\ , and health crises have never been so clearly visible as they are today. This conversation will center artists and environmental justice leaders wh o are champions for clean air and equity\, as they explore the compounding impacts of COVID-19 on the same communities already harmed by environment al and social injustices\, and reflect upon how arts based strategies can disrupt\, educate\, and support community centered decision-making. Dr. Ca therine Garoupa White is the Executive Director of the Central Valley Air Quality Coalition where she spearheads policy advocacy for clean air in th e San Joaquin Valley. Kim Abeles is an artist\, Professor Emeritus at Cali fornia State University Northridge and a Guggenheim Fellow who innovated a method to create images from smog captured from the air. Rosten Woo is a designer\, writer\, and educator that produces civic-scale works for grass roots and community rooted organizations. This conversation will be modera ted by Layel Camargo\, Ecological Arts and Culture Manager at The Center f or Cultural Power. \;\nPracticing Environmental Justice for a More Jus t Future\nInteractive “Implosion” Demonstration\n\nWednesday\, May 19t h\n\n3:00-4:30pm EDT\n\nIn this session\, Mural Art’s Environmental Just ice Department will facilitate a LIVE “Implosion\,” a creative partici patory research tool for building coalitions and exposing the hidden conne ctions that fuel systems of environmental injustices. The implosion activi ty is a tool for activating networks to discover the complex interconnecti ons and relationships inherent in our life and practices. What does the fo ssil fuel industry have to do with plastics? How are hidden subsidies driv ing production and consumption? How do we leverage every day experiences t o build more effective movements?In this session\, we will work together t o uncover the economic and political systems at work within a seemingly si mple object. In order to dismantle the corrupt systems and corporations th at benefit from concealment\, it is essential for us to understand and rea lize our interconnectedness. This practice is an accessible tool to help u s dive deeper\, past the camouflage of globalization and capitalism\, and understand how EJ movements can be made more powerful through collective k nowledge building and recognition of our interrelatedness. \;\nWater I s Life:\nReflections from an Environmental and Cultural Emergency\nThursda y\, May 20th\n\n1:00-2:30pm EDT\n\nThe United States is in a water crisis. Nearly a tenth of the population does not have access to clean drinking w ater and millions of Americans cannot pay their skyrocketing water and sew age bills. Children and families from Philadelphia to Fresno to Tribal Nat ions\, are exposed to heightened levels of lead\, PFAS\, and other toxins. But communities are more than the structural violence they face\, and the role of community-driven artists and cultural workers are working to help communities heal from structural violence\, reclaim their right to clean water\, and find pathways forward that protect and celebrate water. From B oston\, Massachusetts will be joined by Erin Genia\, Sisseton-Wahpetin Oya te / Odawa multidisciplinary artist\, educator and community organizer cur rently an Artist-In-Residence with the City of Boston working with the Dep artment of Emergency Affairs.

Our hyper-capitalist economy is parasitic on humans and inco mpatible with a living planet\, and yet many people still struggle to imag ine an alternative. Reinventing the economy will require new laws\, polici es\, and financing tools--but it will also require us to tell ourselves a new story about who we are\, what is valuable\, and our relationship to ea ch other and the natural world. Hear from the creative thinkers and doers who are weaving together the structural and narrative interventions we nee d for a more just and sustainable economic future—debt abolishment\, coo peratives\, and Guaranteed Basic Income. Speakers are Esteban Kelley (US F ederation of Worker Cooperatives)\, Laura Zabel (Springboard for the Arts) \; and Dan and Hilary Edelstyn (Bank Job). This conversation will be moder ated by Oscar Perry Abello\, Senior Economic Correspondent at Next City.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n CATEGORIES:Virginia Events LOCATION:Virtual\, Virtual\, Virtual\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Virtual\, Virtual\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Virtual:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2445@keepvirginiabeautiful.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210517T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210517T150000 DTSTAMP:20210426T011954Z URL:https://keepvirginiabeautiful.org/events-va/invasive-species-removal-a t-chapel-island-13/ SUMMARY:Invasive Species Removal at Chapel Island DESCRIPTION:\nInvasive Species Removal at Chapel Island\n\n\n\n\nMon\, May 17\, 2021 1:00pm - 3:00pm | US/Eastern\n\n\nLocations: Great Shiplock Pa rk\, Richmond Region\n\n\n\nCategory:\n\n\n\nVolunteering\n\n\n\nDescripti on\n\nJoin the James River Park System Task Force in our ongoing habitat r estoration project at Chapel Island. This month we will be focused on rem oving invasive plant species.\nMeet in the parking lot at Great Shiplock P ark at Dock and Pear Street.

The move towards a sustainabl e development to address the current infrastructure needs that are not com promising access to the limited resources for future generations is the mo st crucial priority of highway agencies around the world.\n\nThe main goal of this online training is to introduce the fundamentals of sustainabilit y relevant to the transportation infrastructure materials. Various aspects \, such as the use of recycled materials\, the environmental impacts durin g the life cycle of the infrastructure\, and the life cycle cost analysis methods and tools will be introduced. Moreover\, the state of the art and state of the practice for sustainability considerations during the design\ , construction\, and maintenance of the transportation infrastructure will be covered.\n\nParticipants will be guided through various interactive co urse modules to develop skills and knowledge to employ standard guidelines and specifications related to the sustainability considerations in differ ent local and network-level projects. Highway practitioners and local high way agency engineers will learn and benefit from the various aspects of th e sustainability concepts that can be employed and implemented in their pl anning operations.\nFormat\nLectures will be taught over a two-week period with live 2-hour online sessions held on Tuesday &\; Thursday of each week. Upon completion of the training program\, the IRF will administer an online knowledge test.

Abstract Subm ission is now open.\n\nThe capacity and effectiveness of social and health services are being severely strained by the long-term trend of aging popu lations. Age-related increases in health and social service use are linked to greater rates of care transitions and significant use of acute inpatie nt treatment. The complex demands of the patient population\, which is get ting older and more diverse\, are not being met by healthcare systems\, wh ich leads to poor management\, a rise in unfavorable events\, and negative outcomes. Unsafe care has a disproportionately negative impact on older p ersons\, who have decreased function\, falls\, delirium\, infections from inappropriate interventions\, and readmissions. These effects have a serio us impact on their quality of life\, well-being\, and fundamental human ri ghts to maintain autonomy and dignity.\n\nThe benefits of attending the co nference are:\n\n Get to know other people in your field\n Hear about th e latest research\n Visit a new place and have fun\n Meet your academic heroes\n Engage in high-level debates and refine your ideas\n Adding to your CV\n Avail of CME/CPD certification\n Network with your peers\n To expand your knowledge and find solutions to problems\n Meet the best inf luencers\n Get new ideas and solutions\n Get certified or learn new skil ls\n\n \;\n\nWhy L.A.?\nLos Angeles is the entertainment capital of th e world\, offering many activities and attractions like movie studios\, th e Sunset Strip\, Venice Beach\, landmark museums\, world-famous theme park s\, wineries\, breweries\, outdoor activities\, exciting nightlife\, and m uch more.

It is a fu n team-building opportunity for corporations\, civic organizations\, youth \, and church groups. Pick your spot – a park\, playground\, roadside\, stream bank\, or your very own neighborhood and help get rid of the litter and make it a cleaner\, healthier place for all. All volunteers are given trash bags and gloves.\n​Help us keep litter out of our waterways!  ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://keepvirginiabeautiful.org/wp-content/upl oads/2023/02/Fall-Waterways-Cleanup-compressed.png LOCATION:Greater Roanoke Valley\, 2014 Memorial Avenue SW\, Roanoke\, VA\, 24015\, Roanoke\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=2014 Memorial Avenue SW\, R oanoke\, VA\, 24015\, Roanoke\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=G reater Roanoke Valley:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2954@keepvirginiabeautiful.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231021T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231021T110000 DTSTAMP:20231003T144529Z URL:https://keepvirginiabeautiful.org/events-va/creek-cleanup/ SUMMARY:Creek Cleanup DESCRIPTION:https://www.virginiaaquarium.com/plan-your-visit/events/creek-c leanup\n\nA fun and fin-tastic way for families and groups to be outside a nd working together! This month\, we're participating in The Ocean Conser vancy's International Coastal Cleanup!\n\nTrash that finds its way into th e ocean can travel long distances with the currents and winds. Plastic bag s and plastic wrap can suffocate marine animals and fish. Birds can easily entangle themselves in plastic six-pack rings and strings. Animals can al so get sick or die from swallowing trash\, such as cigarette butts. Humans \, animals\, and plants all need unpolluted water to survive. Help us keep our local marine and aquatic wildlife safe by giving a few hours of your time to clean up this trash.

Framed against panoramic visuals\, more than 100 indigenous artists a re represented to highlight a shared seafaring ancestry with interconnecte d musical traditions. These unique lineages mixed with their diverse conte mporary styles—roots-reggae\, beats\, grunge\, R&\;B\, folk and spoke n-word—establish a contemporary musical dialogue between cultures as far afield as Madagascar\, Aotearoa\, Taiwan\, Mauritius\, Marshall Islands\, Papua New Guinea\, Tahiti\, and Rapa Nui. Billboard ASIA describes Small Island Big Song as “one coherent jaw-dropping piece that is likely the f irst time these traditional instruments have been mixed together... The re sult is breathtaking.”   \n\nSmall Island Big Song is the brainchild of Australian filmmaker and music producer Tim Cole and Taiwanese film pro ducer BaoBao Chen\, who traveled to 16 island nations over four years to c apture unique sounds and cinematic sights while working with local artists \, elders\, community groups\, and grassroots musicians. As a Mason Artist -in-Residence\, Small Island Big Song will also work with the community th rough classes and workshops during the week surrounding the performance\, to create awareness and inspire the participants to take action about the climate changes on the artists’ islands. \n\nThis performance is approp riate for all ages.  CATEGORIES:Virginia Events LOCATION:Center for the Arts at George Mason University\, 4373 Mason Pond D rive\, Fairfax\, VA\, 22030\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=4373 Mason Pond Drive\, Fai rfax\, VA\, 22030\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Center for th e Arts at George Mason University:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3021@keepvirginiabeautiful.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240421T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240421T170000 DTSTAMP:20240307T145957Z URL:https://keepvirginiabeautiful.org/events-va/planet-virginia/ SUMMARY:Planet Virginia DESCRIPTION:Planet Virginia (formerly Fairfax Veg Fest)\n\nApril 21 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm\n\nNorthWest Federal Credit Union Parking lot\, 200 Spring Street\, Herndon\, VA\n\n \;\n\nFairfax Veg Fest has merged with the Planet Series to bring you Planet Virginia.\n\nExpect everything the Fairf ax Veg Fest has become famous for in addition to exciting Planet extras.\n \nSame location!

DEQ has not released this information to the general public or used it in regulatory decisions and it is important that people know of its existence and join in demanding that the substances be controlled.\n\nThe data show s that large amounts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are bei ng discharged from industrial plants and sewage treatment plants to stream s around the state.
