Re-Cap on Band Night

    The night was a true success! We raised $520, as well as recycled at least 100 batteries, 15 cell phones, and 5 printer cartridges, not to mention plenty of plastic water bottles and paper products. We also gave away 40 cups of fair trade, organic coffee to all those who brought their own mug. As an additional fund raiser besides admission money, we sold homemade cookies and cupcakes made with primarily local and organic ingredients! Every Poland Spring bottle that we sold had a tag on it with an NRDC fact on water bottle waste. The bands were awesome, and we're happy everything went so well!
    This Thursday and Friday, we'll be running the recycling station we made, because it's evident that many students and their families have batteries, cell phones etc. squirreled away that they're guilty about putting in the trash.

Hi guys. Glad band night went so well! Have you seen "The Story of Stuff"? It is a 20 minute video that is great and is getting a lot of play. Would love to hear what you think of it. www.storyofstuff.com. I have a DVD of it as well if you need it. Also, do you know about "Focus the Nation," an awareness raising event for colleges, HSchools, businesses etc on Jan 30th/31st. Check it out - maybe JJ wants to get involved.
