Branch Program
Sustainability: Honduras/USA
Tuesday, October 14 at 7 pm
Tufts Library, 46 Broad St., Weymouth
Virtual via Zoom
Honduras volunteer Peter Swanson will present ways to achieve sustainability both in Honduras and here on the South Shore. His presentation will include Composting, Kitchen Gardens – Organic, Solar Energy – Electrification, Rain Water Capture, and Water Filtration.
A retired Quincy High School science teacher of biology, environmental science and horticulture, Peter has always been interested in the environment. Twelve years ago while accompanying his wife Kathy on a trip to Honduras, he discovered his mission to help the people of Yoro, Honduras. He could teach them sustainability.
Peter works with the school children on sustainable projects. He soon realized many of us right here are not taking the environment as seriously as we should. He now promotes sustainable actions that we can take in our community. Please join us in person or virtually as we learn about sustainable actions in both communities and some of the challenges and successes that make the work meaningful.
Please join us in person or by Zoom
