This week, Climate Action Club members circulated our 1-page fact sheet (available for viewing on the CURRENT PROJECTS section of our website) to local churches and stores. We also stood in town and at the local market place to hand the fact sheet directly to customers and tell them about our project! We hope to build community support and awareness through our work, and we have received advice about how to improve our campaign. Thank you, everyone!

We have successfully launched our cartridge recycling campaign! We distributed 2 5-gallon buckets in our school, and 3 in our town. We are also working through CARTRIDGES FOR KIDS. All the cartridges we receive will be sent to CARTRIDGES 4 KIDS to be properly recycled, and they in turn will send us $.25-.75 per cartridge. The CAC will then invest that money back into the school and community.
I'll post updates on how many cartridges we collect.

Paper vs. Plastic Campaign

Today, the Climate Action Club is going around to different merchants' stores to talk to them about our PvP campaign. We are going to talk to them about the club's background and our goals for this project. We are then going to initiate a conversation with them about the campaign and how we want to work with the merchants. We will talk about the ways in which we can collaborate to reduce the use of plastic bags in our town, Damariscotta.
The merchants have some concerns, though. As busy business owners, they need the club's help to research where we can purchase bags. But first, we need to have this dialogue with merchants so we can decide which type of bag they want to buy. For example, they could buy regular cotton canvas bags, or they could invest in potato bags with potatoes from Maine. There are a vast number of options. We need the merchants to decide which type of bag they want to buy, and then the club can find a supplier.
If we can work with merchants to reduce the use of plastic bags in our town, we will be leaders in our state, and country. Individual communities have an obligation to work together to fight global warming. The Paper vs. Plastic campaign is an opportunity for own town to come together. We can achieve this goal.
