Join us on a Virtual Field Trip to Kathgora, Bangladesh

In place of traditional Earth Day activities this year, travel with Pure Earth to Bangladesh and meet the Pure Earth team changing lives by cleaning up severe lead pollution from the informal, unsafe processing of used lead-acid batteries. First stop is Kathgora where Pure Earth cleaned up massive piles of battery waste and lead slag left behind by the illegal open air smelters. You’ll hear from relieved parents whose children are now safely playing in cleaned up bamboo groves.

Our team will then show you the next cleanup site, another abandoned open air smelting operation in a residential setting that has soil readings of 300,000 PPM lead.

And finally, we will visit a site that is operating today breaking batteries in this dangerous manner, with workers harming themselves and contaminating the entire area.

You will then have an opportunity for a live Q&A with our team members.

Opportunity Details

Volunteers will be working as a team to enhance the biodiversity of a small open space. It's a great opportunity to meet others with similar interests and work towards achieving our plan for the site.

Tasks include keeping the bramble at bay, preparing areas for planting trees, shrubs, bulbs and wildflower seeds, watering, cutting and maintaining trails in line with a plan agreed with Barnet Council and, of course, litter picking.

The existing trees and the grassed area are maintained by Barnet Council, who remove rubbish after work parties.

No specific skills are required but a willingness to 'pitch-in'. Our main need now is for people who want to work with their hands to clear and plant the site.

There is a wonderful program popping up in cities all around the U.S. where mutual aid groups are getting volunteers to donate space and refrigerators in areas to provide access to free meals and ingredients that houseless or food insecure people might not otherwise be able to get. NW Veg wants to find an army of volunteers to help us stock these fridges with meals and ingredients that are dairy/meat/egg free for folks who cannot or choose not to eat foods with those in it. You can stock it with something as simple as vegan cheeses/milks/babyfood/butter/nut butters/bread, etc or depending on the fridge program you're dropping off to you can make a meal and put it in a to-go container for folks to grab.

To sign up and get information on:
-Which fridges are in your area that need re-stocking
-Current rules and restrictions on what can and cannot be donated
-Protocols on how to safely handle/prepare food
-Recipes for fast and simple vegan dishes that the community has requested

Please email danielle@nwveg.org and we can send you all that info and answer any questions you may have.
