Ask Weis Markets to Help Fight Superbugs!
<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=a3cb9502311de9de240b0d461b67594666a93f562397db2ac2dc9d001728e19166b27635590f38a7e8c69f096f4b0261df3cf1c80246837ddb24d57a895e8522>
Antibiotic resistance is a growing and scary issue. The drugs we rely on to fight even common infections are becoming less effective. A key reason is the overuse of antibiotics -- but not just in people. Did you know a whopping 70% of human antibiotics are actually sold for livestock?
One major supplier, Sanderson Farms, has continued its reckless use of antibiotics and even mocks antibiotic-free chicken as a marketing gimmick. Locally, Weis Markets buys Sanderson chicken for use as their store brand.
Please sign our petition to ask Weis Markets to switch to a more responsible supplier, and let Sanderson know why. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=a3cb9502311de9def30eadcbe6ed1ef4d4dbaf45b1c2868408d9c6ba61ae1e1bf63f4a7a195c755c048e5f00e7ea0724e8b5a1d0ad5008cc4226e6f7814e690a>

St Mary's Native Tree Planting Project Saturday, October 6

We wish more of our parks looked like St. Clement Shores Park, under the cool shade of massive trees... Help us beautify our parks by planting native shade trees such as White Oak, Red Maple & Tulip Poplar to support the local ecosystem and provide habitat and sustenance for birds at playgrounds around the county!
Synthetic playground surfaces are 40-70 degrees hotter than the surrounding air! It's too hot in the summer for kids to play on the playground for most of the day. Families need shaded playground areas to spend time outside. We are planting 10 foot tall trees so we can feel the benefits immediately.
