Lakehill Preparatory School presents its third program in its Environmental Summit speaker series, a free symposium for individuals interested in environmental awareness and sustainability.
The free event takes place at the LEED-certified Alice and Erle Nye Family Environmental Science Center at Lakehill’s Roger L. Perry Campus.
The event, The Next 100 Years: The Legacy of Litter at White Rock Lake, occurs April 5. It begins at 8:30 a.m. with networking and exhibitors showcasing their “green” products and services. A light breakfast, provided by Legal Grounds, also will be served.
The program begins at 9 a.m. and will conclude at 10:30 a.m.
An interactive panel discussion features provocative photographs of debris created by human nature, contrasted with the natural beauty of White Rock Lake. The photographs are on display at the “Trashing Our Treasure” exhibit at the Bath House Cultural Center.
Other pertinent issues to be discussed include details on litter impact research conducted by the nonprofit Shared FUEL and an update on proposed legislation in Austin that supports bottle recycling for plastics, aluminum, and glass.
Questions from the audience are encouraged. Panelists include Annemarie Marek, BJ Ellis, and Patricia Leigh Allen.
The event is free but reservations are required to Gigi Ekstrom.
