NCAP works to protect communities, inspire solu- tions and reduce pesticide use. Our health and com- munities are worth protecting from harm. A healthy climate, clean air, water and soil are incalculable in their value to all of us. Without them our very sur- vival is at risk. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, more than 1 billion pounds of pesticides are used annually in the United States. This includes insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides, fungicides and more. The phrase “Break the Billion” h e Washed Ashore Project is a non-proi t, community-based organization with a mission of educating and creating awareness about marine debris and plastic pollution through art. 90% of the debris we collect is petroleum-based: plastic items, nylon ropes and net. We are able to use 98% of this trash to create sculptures, including a walk-through replica of an ocean gyre, a Styrofoam coral reef, Henry the i sh, a plastic bottle sea jelly, an oil- spill replica, and a musical sea star (tuned to an e-fl at scale!). WASHEDASHORE.ORG is a thread that runs through all of NCAP’s work. It reminds us that everything we do, small or large, to choose healthier alternatives over pesticides leads to fewer pesticides used and less risk and harm caused. Oregon Coast Humane Society — New this year, the Oregon Coast Humane Society (formerly the Florence Area Humane Society) and Thrift Store will be running a “Give and Take” event at the 2016 Florence Green Fair. You can donate small items, such as books, DVDs/CDs, small furniture, appli- ances, clothes, shoes, toys, etc. How it works: Bring your unwanted items to the Florence Events Center beginning at 10 a.m. We will tag your item with a value and give you a voucher for that amount. Find another item of equal or lesser value and give it a new home. No cash refunds; this is a simple exchange. You may find an item valued at more than your voucher, and in that case you would pay the dif- ference. All proceeds and leftover items will be donated to the OCHS Thrift Store. Oregon State Parks — Park Rangers will have an electric car on display at the Green Fair. Everyone is encouraged to stop by and learn about it. The whole family will also be able to create a Terrarium from recy- cled items to be taken home. We are family friendly and look forward to a fun day of learning.
