Earth Day Groceries Project: Arbor Heights kids’ Safeway delivery

For the 18th consecutive year, Arbor Heights Elementary teacher Mark Ahlness and students have just delivered specially decorated grocery bags to the Roxbury Safeway store. Ahlness founded the Earth Day Groceries Project, which involves not only Arbor Heights students, but also classes from many other cities (here are online reports from 2008 and 2009). On tomorrow, the official date of Earth Day, if you shop at Roxbury Safeway, you’re likely to get one of the special bags – while they last!

You can also track the Earth Day Groceries Project on Facebook (here), Twitter (here), and photos on Flickr (here).

    Thanks WSB for the great write up. And special thanks to our Roxbury Safeway for being such a wonderful partner for all these years! The managers (thanks Curt!) and employees have always been so helpful and supportive. We’re lucky to live, work, and learn in such a great community. Happy Earth Day everybody! – Mark
