The Last Icicle Project: A Fundraiser for The Environmental Center
Local activist and student, Solari Brumder, is selling hand-crafted candles and custom Blackstrap neck buffs to raise climate change awareness and support The Environmental Center! Thank you, Solari!
“I choose to make neck buffs with my design to help raise climate change awareness,” said Brumder. “I also created candles that represent what is happening to our planet as the glaciers continue melting right before our eyes. Burning the candles represents our future, with the melting glacier candles reminding you that even the slightest action will make a difference.”
Pricing:
$12 Glacier Melt Candle
$24 Blackstrap Neck Buff
$32 The Last Icicle Project Package (Candle + Buff)
