On March 31st 2024, Lambert VT Seva took part in the Great Forsyth County Cleanup. We spent 4 hours cleaning up Caney Road and filled up 3 trash bags!

After meeting at Caney Reserve Park, our volunteers walked along the road, unearthing a huge variety of trash- cigarettes, plastic bags, water bottles, PVC pipes, alcohol bottles, etc. It was a fun experience, and we all enjoyed talking with each other while cleaning up the environment!!

Earth Hour is one hour in the year that we all turned off our power to help Earth. Earth Hour believes that each and every one of us has the power to make a positive impact on our planet, but it’s up to us as individuals to decide how we do so. Anyone, anywhere can join the Biggest Hour for Earth by spending 60 minutes doing something - anything - positive for our planet. This year, 21 VT Seva youth volunteers participated in this amazing event. Many people lit candles to light their homes. Some even used the moonlight. But, they all had fun while helping conservative earth’s resources make it a better place
