Sustainability Open House
EJJI Talks Environmental Careers at the Sustainability Open House
By Rona Kobell
EJJI had a great time at The Sustainability Open House last week, which Baltimore City organized to highlight careers in the environmental fields in Baltimore.
Rona Kobell and Jessica Diaz, our journalism and science leads, manned a table at the Morgan State University’s Graves School of Business and Management. When not talking to students and other interested parties, we milled about.
We checked out the Department of Public Works’ stormwater model and looked at tables covered with miniature plants that people could take home to start a garden. We talked to the branch manager for one of the Pratt libraries about screening our film, Eroding History.
And we met Marvin Hayes, a legend in city composting circles who exudes an incredible energy and enthusiasm for soil and sustainability.
EJJI loves to participate in these events when we can. Next time, we will try to remember to pose for a photo with the Sustainability Turtle. We missed him/her/them this time.
Thank you to Abby Cocke at the city’s Department of Planning for thinking of us for the event.
