[Summit] Recycling challenge in providence

[Greg Gerritt]

Forwarded message from Sheila Dormody  Director ofr Sustainability for the
City

oday is the day the Providence Neighborhood Recycling Challenge
<https://www.providenceri.com/sustainability/providence-neighborhood-recycli
ng-challenge-starts>  begins! From now until September 7th, the Office of
Sustainability will track your neighborhood¹s recycling rate. The
neighborhood showing the greatest percentage improvement in recycling over
the course of the competition will win a Neighborhood BBQ, as well as five
trees.
 
Weekly standings will be posted on Providence City News and Mayor Taveras¹
official Facebook page <http://www.facebook.com/AngelTaveras.Official> .
Neighborhoods will be designated by the day of the week that trash and
recyclables are collected curbside (Go Team Tuesday!).
 
Please help us spread the word about the Neighborhood Recycling Challenge!
If you¹re a resident of Providence, please reach out to your neighborhood
associations and community groups. Make the pledge to improve your recycling
rate by attending our Facebook event
<https://www.facebook.com/events/324917444265924/?notif_t=plan_user_joined>
, and feel free to copy-and-paste and edit this note in your outreach
emails. (Maybe express some of your own recycling day neighborhood pride or
throw down a friendly challenge against another weekdayŠ)
 
Another easy way to get the word out: add this image to your email
signature, and link to the following page:
https://www.providenceri.com/sustainability. Encourage others to use the
e-signature pledge as well! (Note: Gmail users can use this link to add the
image to their signature: http://i45.tinypic.com/10s9do9.jpg)
 
This is a great opportunity to both save the City money

ghborhood-recycling>  and protect our environment. Recycling only works when
everyone participates. Thanks for your help in spreading the word!
 
Thanks!
Sheila
