Keeping Your Family Safe - Audubon at Home


Monday, March 16, 2009, we had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Aaron Virgin, Executive Director of the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center (www.ny.audubon.org/CentersEdu_TRoosevelt.html) for our internet radio program “Keeping Your Family Safe” (find it at http://www.voiceamerica.com/ on the Green Talk Network). The Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center was established in 1923 as the first Audubon Songbird Sanctuary in the nation and is one of the largest providers of environmental education in the New York metropolitan area. Mr. Virgin discussed the Audubon At Home Program (www.audubon.org/bird/at_home/index.html). In our program, we covered the following points:
  • Together Green (http://www.togethergreen.org/) and what it is all about
  • Healthy Yard Pledge
  • How the Audubon at home program works.
  • Eliminating or reducing the use of pesticides
  • Conserving water
  • Protecting water quality
  • Removing exotic plant pests
  • Planting native species
