GREEN COMMITTEE PARTICIPATES IN GLOBAL YOUTH FAIR

Plattsburgh Green Committee members Marcia Wolosz and Michelle Harris attended the Champlain Centre Global Youth Fair on April 25, 2010 and found that North Country students of all ages are well versed in the idea of reducing, reusing and recycling.  Displaying options for greening the home by substituting environmentally safe alternatives and reusing common everyday items, the Green Committee showed the community how easy it is for each individual to do their part!  We were thrilled to know that so many young people easily practice recycling--it's as second nature to them as brushing their teeth!  With recycling word searches, puzzles, and an opportunity to color the recycling logo to their liking, the Plattsburgh Green Committee made it fun for all to learn more about the 3Rs.  And with a visit from Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor, Bernie Bassett, we received an invitation to join in the upcoming Town-sponsored Mental Health Awareness event.  All in all, another success for the for all involved!  (And special thanks to Marti Martin for the creative "Use This Instead of That" presentation!)
