MRN and Keep America Beautiful have partnered to launch the “Recycle-Bowl” in Maryland. This is the first comprehensive nationwide recycling competition for elementary, middle and high-school students. Recycle-Bowl was created to provide students with a fun, interactive way to learn about waste reduction and environmental responsibility through in-school recycling. Open to all U.S. schools and classrooms, the incentive-based recycling competition and benchmarking program kicks off this October and registration is now open on the Recycle-Bowl website at http://recycle-bowl.org. The competition runs from October 17 through November 12, culminating around America Recycles Day.
Participating schools will track and report how much recyclable material they collect for a chance to win prizes. At the close of the four-week competition, the school in each state that collects the most recyclable material per capita will win $1,000. A national champion will then be chosen from among the statewide winners to receive an additional grand prize of $2,500.
You can help by reaching out to anyone connected to your local schools to spread the word. Please share this link - http://recycle-bowl.org - with parents, children, friends, customers, vendors, etc.
Let's pump up the volume so we can pump up our recycling!
