SUMMARY:Fall Native Plant Sale
DESCRIPTION:DON’T HANG UP YOUR TROWEL JUST YET — Go Green Winnetka is back and digging in for its sixth annual Fall Native Plant Sale. Turns out\, September is prime planting season. Warm soil\, cooler air\, generous sun\, and steady rain give new roots the perfect head start before the first frost rolls in. \nNative plants aren’t just pretty — they’re the real MVPs of your local ecosystem. These plants pull pollinators\, assist Monarch butterflies in their journeys\, tackle stormwater like pros\, and barely ask for a favor in return — low-maintenance\, high-impact. \nWhether you’re a green thumb or just plant-curious\, our native plant experts will be there to help you dig up (sorry) the perfect picks for your garden. A complete plant list will be available on our website closer to the event. \nRoot for your local ecosystem — see you there! \nFor more information\, visit our website.

SUMMARY:Go Green Reads: The Problem with Plastic
DESCRIPTION:Co-authored by former EPA official Judith Enck and journalist Adam Mahoney\, The Problem with Plastic examines the far-reaching effects of plastics production and explores the material’s entire life cycle\, from its origins as a fossil fuel product to its long-term presence in ecosystems\, while examining public health concerns regarding microplastics. The authors also remind us there is no cause to feel hopeless – the same human creativity that invented plastics can find a way to prevent them from harming the planet and the creatures with whom we share it. \nPlease REGISTER and email gogreenreads@gmail.com with questions. \nGo Green Reads is a collaboration between Go Green Winnetka\, Go Green Wilmette\,\nand The Book Stall with support from the Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District
