Get Your Freak on With Walsh Bishop’s LEAP Task Team for Earth Day 2008.
On April 19, 2008 Walsh Bishop will be participating in the Minneapolis Earth Day Watershed Clean-up at Lake Nokomis. It is our third year doing this and we’re looking forward to a great turnout! We hope to have fun, help the local community, and set a good example for environmental stewardship. In addition, we thought it would be cool to wear blue in support of Architecture 2030’s No Coal Initiative, which calls for a halt to the construction of any new conventional coal-fired power plants. Hopefully, we’ll see a lot of blue out there; that would be bonus support for the carbon reduction and climate change stuff. The LEAP Task Team will host a tailgating event afterward to recharge worn out WBA’ers. Yeah, that’s right, an eco-grille-out afterwards. Hand-wipes will be provided so don’t worry about dirty hands going into lunch. Cotton work gloves and the Hefty’s will be provided at the check-in site. So, all you need to do is show up with comfy clothes and a good attitude.
A little bit about the task team, Walsh Bishop’s LEAP (Leaders in Environmental Awareness and Protection) Task Team provides design solutions for current and future environmental issues by raising sustainability awareness throughout Walsh Bishop; maintaining an accessible “green” knowledge base and methodology for everyday implementation; and increasing firm efficiency through avocation of sustainable operational decisions.
