carpooled to school
Highland Fest and the Green Team
We had a booth at Highland Fest where people could write notes about how they used
the river. We also used the cube of aluminum cans to encourage recycling, the wheel
to help educate and a Gatorade display to walk about smart buying decisions.
Highland Fest and the Green Team
The wheel was a huge hit! We let the volunteers pick the topics based on what
they were interested in talking about with the visitors.

Use the Community Power as much as
possible. They are great to work with and
have a huge amount of resources.
There were two different order forms for
event supplies make sure you see both.
If you are working with students be patient
and know they plan about 15 minutes ahead.

We are so pleased as a community
organization to see how engage people are in
recycling.
The assets Community Power brings is
invaluable. We let visitors at Highland Fest
know recycling was important to us and
Power Grant helped us get that message out
with great signage and resources.
We recycled ONE TON more than last year!
