This month the IRC was represented at, among others, three particularly fabulous events:
- The Senator Lugar Children’s Museum Energy Summit, where we talked to kids about how recycling reduces their carbon footprints, things they can reuse and recyle, and the video contest. We also talked to Senator Lugar about the IRC’s work and our “Curb Your Carbon Footprint” campaign.
- ROCI Swap Meet, where we toured the Bartholomew County landfill and SWMD offices, including the Little Red Schoolhouse, and guests had the opportunity to swap their goods so EVERYTHING can be used and reused by whoever needs it!
- Muncie’s Living Lightly Fair, where four Hoosiers fell in love with the IRC and became members. Monica Brase talked to school officials and parents about the video contest, to citizens who wanted to know, “Does all the stuff we put in the blue bags REALLY get recycled?” (Monica was able to report that she actually SAW the MRF in action and yes, the blue bags’ contents really get recycled!). The event was attended by a slew of people and was organized, fun, informative and yes, it included recycling!
