SUMMARY:Needham is Matting Change - Helping the Homeless Is  "In The Bag"
DESCRIPTION:Founded by a recent high school graduate\, @MattingChange aims to reconfigure single-use plastic bags into comfortable and durable sleeping mats for people experiencing homelessness. By putting a spin on a traditional textiles technique\, these mats can be made by anyone and provide critical relief\, especially in the colder months. The mats will be donated to Needham-based Generic Ministry to support their work with individuals experiencing homelessness in Boston.  This labor-intensive project needs the help of many hands\, ages 11 to 111. \nJoin the community in giving back\, while keeping bags out of the waste stream! A series of workshops will be held from 2:30-5pm on the early-release and no-school days of Wednesdays Sept. 25\, Oct. 9 Oct. 23 and Nov 6. For more information and to sign up\, please contact Aicha Kelley at The Center at The Heights at akelley@needhamma.gov or 781-455-7555. \nMaking a single mat requires 600 bags! If you have clean\, flimsy\, plastic checkout bags (#2 HDPE) to donate\, please drop them off in the Matting Change bin at the Center for the Heights or at 20 Chestnut St (south of Harvey’s) inside the front door.

SUMMARY:Darkness in Distress: A Presentation on Light Pollution
DESCRIPTION:Darkness in Distress: A Presentation on Light Pollution sponsored by Greening Rozzie\, City Counselor Michelle Wu\, and The Boston Food Forest Coalition \nKelly Beatty has graciously offered to speak at that Arnold Arboretum next Tuesday night at 7:00. He’ll be giving a presentation on the Light Pollution focusing specifically on the effect of excessive light on urban safety. \nLight pollution\, simply put\, is any unnecessary or excessive outdoor illumination. Sadly\, it’s become a pervasive and ugly consequence of modern 24/7 society. Light pollution robs us of the night sky’s beauty\, negatively affects the ecosystem\, and creates an in-your-face waste of energy. But a new mindset and new technology are poised to slow — and perhaps reverse — this bane of modern life. Come Learn how you can safely light up your home without wasting energy\, disturbing your neighbors\, or creating an unhealthy environment for humans and wildlife. And learn about what options we all have as citizens of Boston to improve the quality of nighttime lighting in our neighborhoods and throughout the city. \nLocation: Arnold Arboretum’s Weld Hill Building\, 1300 Centre Street\, Roslindale.  Off-street parking is available. Enter the building at the lower level. \nVoluntary sign up here
