East Baltimore cleanup & BBQ

What better way to spend your Saturday than doing a little tidying up, and then reward yourself with a nice cookout?

The C.A.R.E. Community has organized a cleanup starting at 9 a.m. Saturday morning for the neighborhood around Madeira Street Garden, in the 400 block N. Madeira St. Alex Van Breukelen of the group's "cleaner greener" committee reports that the city is expected to drop off a Dumpster to receive debris collected by residents and other volunteers (outside help welcome).

The city also is to deliver 130 recycling containers at the garden, paid for by the Baltimore Community Foundation and Banner Neighborhoods, to be distributed to residents who signed up for them. City officials will be on hand to explain the new trash and recycling rules.

Then, once the serious business has been taken care of, grills get lit at noon for a neighborhood cookout. For more info, contact Alex at 910-207-1111.

About the bloggers

Meredith Cohn has been a reporter for more than 18 years and has covered a variety of subjects, from airlines and agriculture to politics and health and fitness. She's gained an appreciation for the environment as a biker, runner and dog walker. She also hopes this blog means coworkers will stop staring when she carries home recyclables from the office.

Tim Wheeler reports on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, he has focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, he's crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. He loves seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. He hopes to share some here.

Contributor Christy Zuccarini has been blogging about the local DIY craft scene for a year for Baltimoresun.com. She brings her pespective on all things handmade to B'More Green, where she will highlight projects you can do yourself as well as crafters who are integrating sustainable methods and materials.
