Join AA's Greening Group and Georgia Interfaith Power and Light (GIPL) for Reverse Tashlich, this year on World River Day! The ritual of Tashlich requires us to symbolically cast our sins into a body of moving water; Reverse Tashlich asks us to remove human-made trash from our rivers and streams, much of which ultimately flows into our oceans. This year, like last year, we will clean the Peachtree Creek Greenway, a beautiful walking/running path just a few miles east of AA. This cleanup will be one of hundreds worldwide under the umbrella of Repair the Sea.
Please arrive at the parking lot by 1:45 p.m. to register. All are welcome to stay on dry ground, but if you plan on getting down and dirty, be sure to wear boots. Please bring your own reusable water bottle. Gloves will be provided.
