The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on May 24, 2017, with four members present. The council approved the minutes from the April meeting. A council member reported that the Planning Commission had approved rezoning the intersection of Beaver Grade and Thorn Run Roads from B-P to C-1 classification, and that discussions continue on redeveloping the area around the municipal building. Members reviewed upcoming events: a member and her husband helped assemble 40-50 rain barrels at the April 27 North Fayette event; a council member will participate in Moon’s May 31 rain barrel event at Robin Hill, with parts available for assembly, bringing the total to 80 barrels. A member recommended a township email blast to raise awareness. For the July 2 Community Day and 50th anniversary of Moon Park, the council will staff a table in two-hour shifts from 12-6 p.m. after a setup hour. Items for the table include a Waste Management refrigerator magnet, Moon Community magazine, the Earth Day questions board, a kids’ magazine, information on the weekly Farmer’s Market, and a flyer promoting the MEAC Facebook page. A member suggested a rain barrel giveaway where participants answer a question correctly for a drawing ticket. The council reviewed the successful April 23 Earth Day, themed “What a Waterful Life,” noting that nearly all of the more than 200 Lobelia native plants were distributed, with six donated to the Garden Club. For the June 3 Recycling Day, members should report between 7:15 and 7:30 a.m.; a member will bring coffee and bagels, a member will order pizza, and a member will ask an employee to promote the event on Facebook. Preliminary station assignments include one member checking IDs, her husband counting cars, one member counting FREON, one member stacking, one member counting tires, and two members supporting Construction Junction and Global Links. The presentation on smoke-free parks to the Board of Supervisors was rescheduled to September. No update was available on the Comp Plan. A council member reported that Pennsylvania Senate Bill 43, supported by a local senator, proposes fines and community service hours for littering.
