Free Film: The Story of Plastic

April 1, 2021 By Sarah

The Future of Big Oil??? PLASTIC?!  Let’s discuss!

Free film viewing in April + optional community conversation

Thursday, April 15th, 7:00-8:30 PM

RSVP here

As we approach Earth Day, the Mayflower Church’s Groundwise ministry, along with Earthwise, invites our neighbors to view the extraordinary documentary The Story of Plastic (from the makers of The Story of Stuff). Learn about the effects of plastic, from climate change to water & land pollution.

Everyone will have a couple of weeks of free, on-demand viewing of the film on your own. Groundwise will host a Zoom discussion on Thursday, April 15th, 7:00-8:30 pm. We will discuss ways to interrupt Big Oil’s growth strategy for the future by reducing consumer demand via local alternatives to plastic use.

See a trailer for the film here: https://www.storyofplastic.org/about. To RSVP for links to the film and/or the discussion, please email . The link to view the film will be sent out early April. We look forward to seeing you at this important event!

The Sap will Run this week–register for your Sap Tap Kit Today & Get Tapped tomorrow

March 1, 2021 By Sarah

For $20, Minneapolis’ residents will get a kit that can be used to tap sap from any privately owned tree in the maple family (including box elders). Are you a repeat Tapper with your own kit? Register to participate in the boil for only $10! Register here

We have set aside two Saturdays for sap boils outdoors at MLK Park, 4055 Nicollet, at which participants and other curious residents can watch the transformation of the watery liquid into a concentration of sweet syrup. The all-day boil-downs on March 13th and/or March 20th are an opportunity to bond with other neighborhood residents and learn more about how sap is turned into syrup. Depending on exactly what day the sap runs, we will host boils on one, or both, of these dates!

Register and pick up a Tree Tapping Kit from the front desk of MLK Park. (Note, trees must be larger than 10 inches in diameter). Kit includes spline(s), tubing, 5 gallon food grade collection bucket, and how-to instructions. Participants will be able to sign up for a shift of syrup making, and will get to take a jar of syrup home with them too! A program of the Kingfield Neighborhood Association and MLK Park.

Upon registration for this program, participants agree to maintain social distance (6 feet) at all times and adhere to the current Minnesota state face covering mandate. (Face covering exceptions may apply to certain MPRB activities.) Failure to comply will result in removal from the program.

Adopt a Storm Drain…and Go Clean It off before it snows!

December 10, 2020 By Sarah

Sad there’s no snow yet? But that means there is still time to Clear the Storm Drains before they pile up with snow and ice!

Take a walk this week with a shovel and garbage bag and make sure the drains near your home are clear for run-off. Consider adopting a drain close to you to care for throughout the year; you even get to name it!
