2008 Environmental Excellence Award Winner
What began as a simple Earth Day activity in 2005 has blossomed into a sustainable award-winning project. Our public outreach continues at expos, festivals, farmers’ markets, and library
and afterschool programs. At these events we describe the lifecycle of paper and plastic bags in "A Story About Shopping Bags," leading listeners to the conclusion to "choose to reuse!" We provide 100% cotton reusable shopping bags for the young and young at heart to decorate and make their own.We also play the "Lunch Box Game," where children choose from a variety of options to assemble a waste-free lunch. Often these activities lead to discussion about other earth friendly projects, like gardening and composting. There are so many simple pollution solutions right at our fingertips!
