With rain in the forecast every day for the next few week we thought it would be the perfect time to share some exciting news! Remember last year’s good-to-do eco messages that magically appeared on area sidewalks when wet? Sharpen your pencils and mark your planners because the “Write as Rain” motivational messaging campaign is returning in early fall to a school sidewalk near you! With the approval of local schools, and the help of askHRgreen.org committee members, the messages will be applied to school sidewalks and entry ways using custom-made stencils and an eco-friendly rain-resistant spray. When it rains, the area around the messages darkens while the stenciled area stays dry and light. The missives for this year’s campaign are still under cover, but the goal is to inspire youth to think about our Hampton Roads environment in new ways. Follow the map to an existing Write as Rain message or keep an eye out for new messages as they pop up across Hampton Roads this fall.
