3/13/2023 Minutes: Flyer-ing, DVD Testing/Upcoming Event, Earth Day Booth

These minutes are being posted late because Marc misplaced his handwritten notes.

In Attendance: Jackson, Rae, Marc (secretary), Ty
Meeting Start: 7:15 PM

Upcoming Event: Movie Night

  • Marc and Ty burned a DVD for easy-viewing at the upcoming event, but it didn’t work in the DVD player. They will try again with a different format.
  • Jackson also refilled the candy dish in preparation for the event.

Flyer-ing Update

  • Ty, Marc, and Rae put up lots of flyers around town. There are just a couple places that need them still.

Earth Day Boothing

  • Marc will make some edits to sticker designs based on feedback.
  • Favorites were: Compost the rich, water protector/land defender.
  • Jackson suggested a budget of about $200.00 for the stickers.
  • Ty also discussed some ideas for the interactive board at the event, and named some specific businesses/companies that claim to be green, but were found to do very environmentally-destructive practices.
  • We plan on requiring people to participate in the greenwashing identification activity to receive a sticker, but we’ll also have other educational/promo materials that we’ll just hand out.
  • Rae pointed out the importance of having a takeaway message that inspires people to action, rather than makes them feel bad. “We can’t buy a green future” resonated with folks, and we also discussed ways to encourage people to fight for climate action.

Meeting adjourned: 8:50 PM
