An evening of Ocean Plastics awareness and student films exploring problem-solving in our region’s Blue Economy sector hosted by CARE for the Cape and Islands at CCCC (5-7pm). View the documentary “Straws”, a locally produced “Skip the Straw” film about students taking action against plastics in the ocean, and student films about their work with regional STEM-rich institutions.
Philanthropy Day is an opportunity for learning, sharing, and recognizing the dedication and generosity of those who support the many nonprofits on Cape Cod and the Islands.
Your Registration for Philanthropy Day will include:
- Full-day Conference
- Plenary Speaker: Jason Lewis
- Philanthropy Awards Luncheon
- Cocktail Reception & Exhibitor Raffle
CARE will be hosting an Invitation Only Summit in collaboration with Center for Coastal Studies and Cape Cod Anti-Litter Coalition. Our intent is to bring together representatives from businesses, municipalities, nonprofit and volunteers involved in waste reduction on Cape Cod and the Islands to share best practices in order to achieve greater results.
We are excited to continue our work to reduce plastic and plastic pollution by sponsoring the bags for this year’s cookie stroll. Stroll along the streets of historic Bass River visiting homes and businesses that are open to be toured and collect a different cookie at each stop! Cookies are all home baked. You will receive a cloth bag to carry the cookies (if you don’t eat them at each stop!) and a booklet with the recipes. Tickets go on sale November 19. To find out where to purchase them and more info visit this site.
Each paper cookie bag will be sealed with a label that is compostable.
We care about using eco-friendly packaging. We use PURE Labels for our 100% biodegradable/recycled/recyclable labels, made by Elevate Packaging. We love our planet and know that each sustainable packaging choice we make matters!
So when you are done with your cookies the bags and labels can go in your backyard compost bin! We hope to see you at the stroll!
