Second annual Ecoball to benefit green programs

Lots of music and food is planned for the Baltimore Green Works 2nd Annual Ecoball March 19 at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park and Museum.

The event will help pay for the nonprofit group's "Sustainability Speaker Series" and other eco-friendly events.

Funk and dance band The Mooks will play the ball, timed to the vernal equinox. And Baltimore International College students will compete in the Ecoball’s “Top Chef-style” competition.

Ball-makers are encouraging ball-goers to put on their best eco-friendly outfit. They recommend shopping your closet or visiting a local consignment shop.

The ball is sponsored by Living Classrooms Foundation, Frederick Douglass - Isaac Myers Maritime Park and Museum, Lorenz Inc., Baltimore International College and the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Tickets are $75 a person and $40 a student with valid student I.D. For more information and to register, click here.

About the bloggers

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.
