YNot WINDSday Kick-off Event

Aina is stoked to be part of the returning Ynot Wednesdays concert series happening at Virginia Beach’s Town Center this Wednesday, July 21st. This YNot WINDSday kick-off event will be focusing on sustainability!
Learn about the Mayor's Commission for Offshore Wind and Clean Energy. The City of Virginia Beach is on track to become a wind energy hub. Dominion Energy installed a pair of research turbines 27 miles offshore and plans to begin construction of 176 commercial turbines in 2024. The wind farm is expected to generate enough electricity for 650,000 homes in the state.
This event will feature an “Eco Market” with environmentally friendly products for sale from Aina Clothing and other vendors. The band Good Shot Judy will perform for this free outdoor concert at Town Center taking place from 5:00 – 9:00 pm on the Sandler Center Outdoor Plaza Wednesday, July 21st.

“It’s not just about a project happening off the coast, it’s also people becoming more aware of the environment,”

Food from Ynot Italian, soft drinks, wine, beer and mixed drinks will be available for purchase.

Surfrider Foundation - Virginia Chapter Looking For Volunteers

 

Surfrider Foundation - Virginia Chapter is looking for volunteers for its Blue Water Task Force monitoring program.

Blue Water Task Force programs are set up to augment and extend the sampling that is done by agency-run beach monitoring programs. Along with popular ocean and bay beaches, Blue Water Task Force labs monitor potential freshwater sources of pollution, such as stormwater outlets, rivers, and creeks, that discharge onto the beach. The Blue Water Task Force fills in data gaps and provides more water quality information to keep people safe.

 

We're looking for volunteers for multiple BWTF testing sites! Want to help out? Email Brian at BWTF@vb.surfrider.org to volunteer with our crew!
