Summer activities abound at local organizations
Age-Friendly Englewood, a coalition of more than 50 organizations working with the City of Englewood to help older adults agein-place with dignity and independence, wants to remind everyone that Englewood offers a broad range of summer-time activities for people of all ages. Here are some of the local organizations that have summer programs:

Environmental Commission encourages use of reusable bags
The average American family accumulates around 60 plastic bags per month, and with approximately 10,500 households, Englewood residents accumulate 630,000 plastic bags every month.
The Englewood Environmental Commission would like to encourage residents to use reusable bags at the grocery store as well as other shopping destinations.
The key is remembering to bring the reusable bags to the store. Keep them in your car at all times as a reminder, and be sure to wash your reusable bags in hot water to reduce the risk of bacteria from repeated use. You can also purchase reusable produce bags.
