The
message is loud and clear - Pennsylvania youth are concerned about their
environment! The Litter Hawk Program gives children and teens a chance
to illustrate their concern about littering and illegal dumping prevention,
recycling, proper disposal, beautification, and stewardship through visual
arts, language arts, and community outreach activities. The Litter Hawk
Youth Award Program is available to schools, scout groups, informal groups
and individuals. Litter Hawk Program entry deadline is March 31 each year.

The
Curbside
Value Partnership was formed five years ago to help communities
grow and sustain their curbside recycling programs. Our two goals are to
help communities grow participation in their programs and to help them measure
this growth to make better decisions.
We accomplish these goals by partnering with communities to launch and test
education programs and by promoting what we learn nationally through our
Web site, our semi-annual newsletter Bin
Buzz, in media
coverage, and through conferences and other forums. |

RECYCLING
It
makes a difference ... for the environment and for your community.
Do
you know that the can you recycle today ends up back on store shelves
as a new can? And that it only takes 60 days?
TWO
out of THREE cans produced in the U.S. begin the recycling process
either at local recycling centers, community drop-offs or charity collection
sites. Reverse vending machines or curbside pick-up make up the
other one-third.
There
are many ways you can recycle in your community including curbside recycling,
which is offered in nearly 50% of communities nationwide. Currently the
Aluminum Association and the Can Manufacturer's Institute are implementing a
national education campaign centering around the benefits of recycling
at the curb and the financial benefit of recycling high-value
materials such as aluminum cans. When residents trash a can, instead of
recycling that can, they are literally throwing money away . |
