In photos: Mirella Project helps Salmon Arm residents go green at Christmas

Two more events planned to help combat climate change in December

The Mirella Project has been busy greening up Christmas for Salmon Arm residents.

Named after Mirella Ramsay, a young adult whose vision is to make Salmon Arm an ‘eco-town’ with environmental practices that can be used around the world, the Mirella Project has been walking the talk.

Along with recent presentations including the effects of consumerism and protecting natural habitat, on Dec. 6 members of the project hosted their Gift Gone Green Christmas event.
