The Perennial Project

We wish to engage and organize a wide diversity of businesses, organizations, schools, offices, clubs and individuals, to plant 350 perennial edibles throughout Bellingham.   Each will be marked with a tag showing its number in the lineup, along with the business/organization sponsoring the perennial, and the reverse side will provide information about 350 parts per million (the threshold through which the atmosphere can sustain CO2 levels), and how growing food locally (especially perennials that will reward us each year with their bounty!) can reduce our food carbon footprint.  Through communal action we wish to inspire the people of Whatcom County towards sustainability and provide methods through which a sustainable future can be achieved.

Please contact Tristan Bach (360 801 5590/bach.return@gmail.com) if you wish to:

1) Donate Perennials
2) Sponsor Perennials ($25 per perennial/tree)
3) Help Planting

For organizations or individuals who personally want to attend the planting of their perennial/tree we can provide a photo opportunity that will be put into an online database. This database will show where each perennial/tree is planted, along with its donators and sponsors. 

 

The Prayer March

On the night of October 24th we will embark upon a silent march to bring closure to a day of immense activity; a day where individuals and groups around the world will have demonstrated, in their own unique way, how we, as a global society, can join together and pave the way for a sustainable future. It is becoming clear (although at times it may seem the contrary) that our collective humanity is growing in community and sensitivity and we wish to compliment our activities with the subtle affects of silence and prayer. Such practices are necessary not only to bring closure to our activities, but also to maintain and sustain the energy levels necessary for global change. We will be meeting at the Village Green at 6:45 PM and the march will commence at 7:00PM towards Boulevard Park. We will then retrace our footsteps towards the Village Green. We ask that people bring their own candles to illuminate our transition.
