Stephanie - Green Scenes show: Laugh, Learn and Live SustainablyHoward County Library System HCLS, Glenwood Branch, Cooksville, MD
You must register directly with the library to reserve a space. Click here to register.
Green Scenes: Laugh, Learn, and Live Sustainably is an eco-educational experience by the Mixed Vegetables improv group. Blending the energy of improv with practical sustainability education, this interactive program uses fun skits to spark learning, reflection, and action.
Through engaging skits, audience participation, and short discussions between them, we explore everyday choices that shape our natural world—from cutting waste and sharing resources to choosing eco-friendly personal care options. The improv keeps things lively, while the discussions connect the ideas and provide practical takeaways.
You’ll walk away with proven habit-change strategies, useful tips, and a sense of how small changes can make a big difference. Beyond caring for our natural world, low-waste living can be healthier, more affordable, and lead to less clutter in your life.
Join us for an afternoon of laughter, learning, and connection—leaving you hopeful, empowered, and ready to act. Come laugh, learn, and be inspired to make a difference as we share this journey with you!
This class is being presented in-person at the Glenwood branch in Howard County. You must register with the library to reserve a space, not just here on the Meetup.

- Volunteer at Hatton Animal RescueHatton Animal Rescue, Glenelg, MD
*Please note that the start time is 10AM for this volunteer event.* Although arriving late is Ok. Please join us for as much time as you can.
Hatton Animal Rescue Foundation specializes in special needs farmed-animals. They're located in Glenelg, Md (its in Howard Co about 10 minutes from Great Sage).
"We Rescue All types of animals with special needs/disabilities and Seniors in the hopes that they will one day be adopted into a loving home. If one cannot be found, we provide the comfort, care and forever home they need."
Volunteer tasks can get dirty! Please dress for dirty work. I recommend bringing gloves, hat and sun protection. Tasks may require mobility or strength but there are many tasks that don't. The specific tasks will based on the # of volunteers who sign up.
Hatton Animal Rescue is located in a home in a residential neighborhood. Carpooling is highly encouraged to reduce the number of cars in the driveway & in the neighborhood (& also to reduce our overall carbon footprint). Please note if you would like to carpool & where you're coming from. If you can meet at the park and ride on Brokenland Pkwy in Columbia, please mention that since it's probably on the way for many people.
Please park in the grass on the left side of the driveway or on Kennard Drive.
Please print out and complete the liability waiver. By participating, you understand that there are inherent risks with volunteer work.
I plan to bring my lunch and have a picnic (weather permitting!) after volunteering at the sanctuary (in the shaded grassy area near the driveway). Please bring a blanket or chair if you would like to join me. Also make sure that you eat only vegan food with the group.
