🌎 What is Earth Awareness Month & How Can You Celebrate? 🌱

April is Earth Awareness Month—a time dedicated to protecting our planet and promoting sustainable practices in our everyday lives. It grew from the very first Earth Day in 1970 and has become a global movement, with over 1 billion people taking part each year!

This month is all about raising awareness of important environmental issues like climate change, pollution, and protecting our natural spaces—and more importantly, taking action together as a community.

💡 Easy Ways You Can Celebrate:
♻️ Reduce, reuse, and recycle at home
🌳 Plant a tree or start a garden
🚶‍♀️ Pick up litter in your neighborhood
💧 Conserve water and energy
🛍️ Support local and eco-friendly businesses

Every small step makes a BIG difference. Let’s work together to keep our community clean, green, and thriving—not just this month, but all year long!

Save the Date! Sleepover Weekend is HERE! 🌼💝

Starting this Friday (4/10), take a shelter dog home for the weekend (or longer if you choose). The shelter provides supplies such as food, bedding, toys, treats and a leash. You provide a safe place to stay, comfort, and lots of love!

Time outside the shelter helps dogs stretch their legs, experience life in a home, and enjoy extra love and attention. It also helps the shelter learn more about their personalities!

In honor of our Earth, nature, and wildlife, let's forgo the fertilizer!

Your lawn fertilizer is creating a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico.

Every spring, excess nitrogen and phosphorus washes from 31 states into the Mississippi River watershed → Gulf of Mexico.

→ The Gulf of Mexico "dead zone": 5,000-8,000 square miles annually
→ That's roughly the size of New Jersey
→ Almost NO marine life can survive in it (oxygen depleted by algae)
→ Caused by: agricultural runoff (primary) + suburban lawn fertilizer (significant contributor)

How YOUR lawn contributes:
→ Excess fertilizer not absorbed by grass washes into storm drains
→ Storm drains flow to creeks → rivers → Gulf
→ The nitrogen causes algae BLOOMS in the ocean
→ When algae dies, decomposition USES UP all the oxygen
→ Fish, shrimp, crabs suffocate and die or flee
→ The fishing industry loses $82 MILLION per year to the dead zone

THE FIX:
→ Soil test BEFORE fertilizing (most lawns are already over-fertilized)
→ Use slow-release organic fertilizer (less runoff)
→ NEVER fertilize before a rainstorm
→ Apply at HALF the recommended rate (lawns need less than you think)
→ Leave grass clippings on the lawn (free nitrogen — reduces fertilizer need by 25%)
→ Better yet: replace some lawn with native plants (zero fertilizer needed)

Your lawn doesn't need to be golf-course green.

The Gulf of Mexico needs to be alive.

Those two things are connected. 🌊

The event offers free and anonymous disposal of unneeded medications at thousands of local drop-off locations nationwide.
Clinton Township Police will be collecting and safely disposing of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs during the event.
Pills and powders, but no needles, will be accepted.
