SUMMARY:Texas Recycles Day (A proud part of America Recycles Day)
DESCRIPTION:Texas Recycles Day (ARD)\, held on and around November 15\, is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States! \n  \nTexas Roots! \nAlso known as National Recycling Day\, this day began in 1994 after 2 employees of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality suggested the idea to the Nation Recycling Coalition. The first America Recycles Day was officially held on November 15\, 1994 and had at least 40 states taking part. \n  \nWhat is TexasRecyclesDay.org? \nOn Nov. 1st 2021\, STAR will launch the all-new TexasRecyclesDay.org\, with help from contributing organizations Keep Texas Beautiful (KTB) and Take Care of Texas (TCOT). \nTexasRecyclesDay.org will be a hub and clearinghouse for sharing recycling information\, digital assets\, and social media posts\, free to use for local governments\, businesses\, non-profits\, and anyone who wants to promote recycling right in Texas. \nAssets will be available year-round\, and the collection will continue to grow\, but each month will feature targeted messaging based on how Texans live and recycle. \nWe’re setting out to make every day Texas Recycles Day by harmonizing and amplifying recycling messaging state-wide. \n  \nHow can you participate? Amplify the message! \nStarting on Nov 15th and continuing through the holiday season\, STAR\, KTB\, TCOT and our other partners will be posting and promoting Texas recycling with shared videos\, graphics\, and recycling information. \nBy focusing all our efforts on the same message\, we can make a big impact on recycling in Texas. \n  \nPost on Your Own Page(s): \nShared assets will be available starting Nov. 1st\, 2021 at TexasRecyclesDay.org \n  \nShare Our Posts: \nSTAR\, KTB\, TCOT and our other partners will post featured messaging starting Nov 15th on social media channels and as newsletter blasts. \n  \nHost a Live Event: \nIf you’re planning a live event\, you can also register it with Keep America Beautiful \n  \nThis effort was inspired in part by the success of the North Texas Know What to Throw campaign\, prepared in cooperation with the North Central Texas Council of Governments through grant funds from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Christina has traveled across the country and across the world\, meeting all kinds of amazing birds and people while working as a naturalist and exhibiting artist at bird festivals.

SUMMARY:Prairie and Timbers Audubon Society Meeting with Presentation on  "New Zealand: Last Best Place on Earth"
DESCRIPTION:In November 2019\, which is spring in the southern hemisphere\, six PTAS members went on a guided birding/scenery trip to New Zealand. Their three-week trip covered most of the North Island\, South Island\, and Stewart Island\, the farthest southern part of the eastern hemisphere. Spectacular\, rugged scenery and unique birds were seen everywhere. Fewer than 20% of the birds they saw are seen in North America; and they saw 41 endemic species (birds only seen in New Zealand)\, such as the South Island Saddleback. And yes\, they did see and hear several Kiwis!  Come and share their adventure. \n  \nTo register for this event\, email ptaszoom@gmail.com with your name and postal address and receive a link. \n
