Earth Day 2023
On Saturday April 22, 2023, Portsmouth held an Earth Day of Action, focusing on litter clean-ups. Learning about environmental stewardship firsthand, students from the primary schools, the middle school, and the high school met to carry out organized neighborhood, school yard, and sports field clean-ups. Portsmouth Conservation Commission and other groups did clean-ups of Portsmouth natural areas and shoreline. Portsmouth DPW staffed a central site for multiple bags of litter to be delivered to, some by bicycle, with SABR riders arriving on cargo bikes. Mayor McEachern delivered an Earth Day proclamation.
Sustainability Fair 2023
The Portsmouth Public Library in partnership with more than 30 local organizations held a free sustainability fair on Friday, April 21 from 4-7 PM at the Connie Bean Recreation Center. All ages were encouraged to join us to learn more about efforts to address climate issues in our community, and find out how to get involved on Earth Day and beyond. There was food, music, and activities for all ages. The library hosted our regular We Craft event in the library’s Levenson Room from 5 to 6:30 PM where people swapped unwanted or unneeded crafts supplies to keep them out of the landfill.
Some of the groups in attendance were the Portsmouth Department of Planning and Sustainability, Planted for the Planet, Mr. Fox Composting, Blue Ocean Society, the Portsmouth High School Eco Club, Beyond Plastics, Portsmouth NH 400 (PNH400), The Juicery, Waste Reduction and Diversion (WRAD), Portsmouth Climate Action, Piscataqua Garden Club, Seacoast Students for Sustainability (SS4S), Southeast Land Trust (SELT), Surfrider Foundation, Seacoast CAN, League of Conservation Voters, Portsmouth Department of Public Works, UNH Marine Docent Program, Seacoast Area Bicycle Riders (SABR), Nature Groupie, Clean Energy NH, Forest Kids, 350NH and others.
