March-April Newsletter Introduction

- Category: News
By Jonathan Starling
The last two months have been busy here at Greenrock, with much of March focused on Earth Hour 2017, while the end of March and early April saw our focus here at Greenrock turn to the large gasoline spill at Ferry Reach.
We have also continued to develop our environmental education programmes, with highlights being the holding of an Eco-Expo hosted by HSBC in the lead up to Earth Day 2017 and a number of our Young Reporters for the Environment seeing their articles published.
April has seen Greenrock participate in the initial consultation phase of the Government’s development of a new Fuels Act, and we will continue to participate in this process to put forward a vision of a low carbon Bermuda.
May sees the start of the America’s Cup in Bermuda, and we are hopeful that it will also mark a focus on greater marine sustainability in Bermuda, our marine environment facing threats of climate change (such as rising sea levels and ocean acidification), critically low populations of large predatory fish, the lionfish invasion and competing interests between fisheries, tourism, development, recreation and energy.
Excitingly, Greenrock is one of the beneficiaries of the XL-Catlin End-to-End event this year, and we hope that all of our supporters register and participate in the event this year!
XL Catlin End-to-End 2017 - Support Greenrock!

The XL-Catlin End-to-End has become a fixture in Bermuda’s calendar, seeing thousands of people participate in walking, riding, paddling and swimming their way across the island – and in the process helping raise money for local charities.
This year, Greenrock is grateful to be one of the three main charities benefitting from this great event, with the monies raised going to support two of our environmental education programmes – Eco-Schools and Young Reporters for the Environment!
In addition to Greenrock, this year’s XL Catlin End-to-End will see monies raised for the Adult Education School, Age Concern and Raleigh. And there’s also the option to vote for a fourth charity to receive the 2017 People’s Choice 30th Anniversary $30,000 award! When you register to participate, you get an option of deciding from four excellent local charities, including YouthNet, a charity that Greenrock works closely together with!
It’s great fun for a good cause, and we ask that all of our supporters sign up and participate in this fantastic event- remember to sign up now and save the date – Saturday, May 6th!

What a fabulous month it’s been and it went by so quickly! May is just around the corner and soon schools will be scrambling to get their portfolios in to be assessed.
We’re always encouraging our young people to share what they have been leaning with those around them and this month saw our students sharing with the whole island at the Eco Expo and Water Festival held at HSBC Harbourview. Our schools created poster boards displaying what they have been doing and learning with the public.
It was a great success and we’ve decided to take the Expo on the road! For the next several weeks we are offering our corporate supporters the opportunity to host the Expo at their place of business.

Earth Hour 2017 - A Success!

This year saw Earth Hour return home to City Hall, as well as a repeat of our 5k Fun Glow Walk & Run throughout the streets of the city.
With around 400 participants in the 5k Fun Glow Walk & Run, the streets went dark as street lights went off, only to be lit up again by people power in the form of wearable LEDs that can be reused going forward.
The theme for Earth Hour 2017 was ‘Keeping Up With Climate Change’ and was celebrated in 187 countries with over 3,100 landmarks and monuments switching off their lights to demonstrate solidarity.
See our Earth Hour video on YouTube here!
Earth Hour 2018 will be held on Saturday, March 31st and we are already starting planning for this event, hoping it will be even bigger than before!
