Earth Month by the Numbers

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Earth Month events!

We are always humbled and honored by the support of our community, especially as we expand our programming each year. 
 

ERICD Earth Month 2022 by the Numbers:

1,400
Number of seedlings that were distributed that will grow into strong allies for our environment

50
Number of rain barrels sold, which will collect stormwater from residential roofs and prevent it from flowing directly into Narragansett Bay

260
Pounds of trash picked up by ‘ploggers’ at our events

Too many to count

ERICD works all year long to empower our community’s residents, landowners, and leaders to take action to conserve RI’s valued natural resources (such as soil, water, and air). Thank you to our volunteers, site-host Greenvale Vineyards, Comedian Ashley Gutermuth, Coca-Cola for donating the rain barrels, the towns of Middletown and Bristol for hosting rain barrel workshops, Newport Run and Chug, Rhode Races, Mint Modern Clean, Helly Hansen Newport, and to our plogging in-kind sponsors Nuun hydration, The Donut Shack, Mermaid Straw, Open Water, Sunmaid Raisins, and Emmy’s Organics, and many others who made Earth Month possible!

Thank you again and let’s celebrate the Earth all year long!
