The TfP team had a lovely afternoon with Girls, Inc. at the DaVinci Middle School in February. The girls decided to incorporate plastic bottles and toilet paper rolls into their bin design, decorating the materials with environmentally friendly messages. Way to spread the word ladies!
Trash for Peace kicked off the month of March with the Clean Water Festival at the University of Portland. We worked with seven elementary schools throughout the day, teaching about the importance of reducing, reusing and rethinking how we look at waste, as well as how to build a recycle bin out of plastic bottles! We were thrilled to be a part of the Clean Water Festival's 20th anniversary.
Thank you to Girls, Inc. and the Clean Water Festival for inviting us to spread our mission and having a perfect indoor activity of building bins. Can't wait to write more updates about our spring events - they may even include outdoor, sunny shots!
