Bothell Sustainamania

There is so much fun going on at the Sustainamania event this Saturday in Bothell that I can't even list it all. Here are some of my favorites - free bag of compost, goats and chickens, fishing for bugs, free Chinook Book for the first 100 families, pet poo toss (I don't really know what that is but I'm sure the kids will love it!), giveaways, and so much more! Along with all of that fun you can bring your plastic bags, Styrofoam, CFL bulbs, and batteries for recycling and learn all about how to become more sustainable in your community.
