Penguins and now scooters

Next Thursday Elizabeth Bezanson will present her findings concerning electric versus gas powered scooters, their environmental impact, cost, licensing requirements and safety features.

Please note in your calendars that this September meeting will take place at the Westbank Library at 12:30pm (lunchtime) on Thursday September 24th. Come and share in the discussion, especially if you have direct experience riding motorcycles or scooters, gas or electric.

Green $elf is proud to point out that we have contributed vastly to reducing the carbon footprint of our membership. None of us had to make use of planes, trains, airplanes and ships to jet off to the Antarctic. Instead our trusted emissary, Melody Lytle made the journey for us and brought back loads of gorgeous pictures. At last month’s meeting, Melody entranced us with her photographs of the eight species of Antarctic penguins and their natural history. She also directed us to her fellow traveler’s youtube video of a moulting penguin catching snowflakes. Thank you Melody for another entertaining and enriching presentation.
