Welcome to March's issue!
While researching this month’s cover story about turning trash into treasures, our team was impressed by the bold, colorful designs being created by Roswell-based nonprofit No More Liddering. Along with art, the organization promotes eco-education about how much single-use plastics we use every day.
No More Liddering takes caps from water and soda bottles, lids from medication vials and circular covers from other containers and creates art kits to make large-scale designs.
Schoolchildren and team-building groups then customize the designs with paint and other recycled materials. Partnerships with other nonprofits have even taken the art (and its educational components) overseas.
To learn more about how No More Liddering transforms waste plastic into masterpieces, turn to “The art of sustainability,” beginning on page 16.
Looking for a fun night out? Pool (or pocket billards) has experienced a resurgence in recent years. League players in Georgia win big at tournaments, too, but even if you’re new to the game, there’s a place at the pool table for you.
Read more in “Rack ’em up” on page 20.
In another feature this month, we visit Mulberry Street Cemetery in LaGrange, where several groups are collaborating to preserve the cemetery’s history and discover more about who is buried there. The “A Spread for the Dead: Celebrating a Life Well Lived with Food Well Loved” cookbook was published last year, with the proceeds going to support the Friends of the Historic Mulberry Street Cemetery.
Turn to page 24 for the feature article and page 38 for more details about the cookbook and some tasty recipes that celebrate LaGrange’s heritage and Southern traditions.
Enjoy!
