 Thank you for all of our schools that participated in our We Think GREEN contest. The contest started on March 13th and ended on June 1st. It was a long contest, but we hope that it gave you time to education the students on the importance of such a contest. Schools collected over 9,067 bins (30 gallon bags) of plastic bags, that is an average of 8,160,300 loose bags and 116,575 lbs of plastic. Wow, just imagine how much space we saved in the local landfills.
Help us encourage kids to keep on recycling, we can all make a difference. Don’t forget any plastic or paper bags that your school collects can always be dropped off at your local Harris Teeter.
