Ramadan Mubarak!

It's that time of year again.... the annual Leftar event, hosted by Green Muslims!

It has been 10 years since Green Muslims hosted its first ZERO TRASH IFTAR aka Leftar in Meridian Hill Park! We hope you will join us in celebrating our 10 years this blessed month at our annual Leftar!

Did you know that food waste alone occupies nearly 40% of American landfills?! Especially during Ramadan, the generosity of others (and general excitement around food) can lead to food and other resources being wasted.

So, we've come up with a solution. Pack a meal for yourself using only leftovers and break your fast with us at the annual Leftar. Please note that this year we are asking you to simply bring a meal for yourself (using leftovers). (Of course, if you have extra to share, we won't stop you from sharing with those around you...)

Here are some tips to inspire your Leftar meal:
+ bring whatever you find in your fridge that is still edible
+ repurpose leftovers (turn plain rice into fried rice, pour some soup over some pasta...the possibilities are endless)
+ consider carrying your leftovers in a reusable container, like a glass/mason jar or plastic tupperware (BPA free if possible!!)
+ bring a reusable fork from home (we will have a limited supply of the Green Muslims reusable plastic utensils)
+ bring a reusable water bottle! (we will have a limited supply of water and cups, but water is heavy, so have some mercy on us and bring your own!)

Location: Malcom X Park (aka Merdian Hill Park) at the southwest corner below the fountain 

Rain plan: In the event of rain, we'll move the date of the event to the following Friday, June 16th.

Dates, fresh fruit, and prayer sheets/picnic blankets will be provided. We will have a limited supply of utensils, water, and plates.

Please RSVP to this Facebook invite so no person has to go without a date or fresh fruit! :) RSVP link: http://bit.ly/2q9Acr7

Peace & blessings,

The Green Muslims Team
