<h1>MGG Road Trip</h1>
From April 27th to May 19th, our <a href="http://midwestpesticideaction.org/midwest-grows-green/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="http://midwestpesticideaction.org/midwest-grows-green/">Midwest Grows Green</a> programs will travel all across Greater Chicago and as far as <a href="http://midwestpesticideaction.org/mpac-events/mgg-on-the-road/stoughton-grows-green-day/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="http://midwestpesticideaction.org/mpac-events/mgg-on-the-road/stoughton-grows-green-day/">Stoughton, Wisconsin</a> to share how far natural lawn care and sustainable landscaping has grown in the Midwest (see <a href="http://midwestpesticideaction.org/mpac-events/mgg-on-the-road/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="http://midwestpesticideaction.org/mpac-events/mgg-on-the-road/">bit.ly/MGGrtrip</a>).

Only hitch, we can't do it with just our two full-time and one part-time staff. <strong>We need your help</strong> leading natural lawn care engagement activities, discussing natural pesticides and organic fertilizers to interested consumers, or just sharing your personal sustainable landscaping experiences.

<strong>Can you help us?</strong> See the opportunities below and please contact MPAC's Ryan Anderson at <a href="mailto:randerson@pesticideaction.org?subject=MGG%20Road%20Trip%20Volunteering" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="mailto:randerson@pesticideaction.org?subject=MGG%20Road%20Trip%20Volunteering">randerson@pesticideaction.org</a> if able to offer a helping hand.
