For our Waste Education Campaign, we are participating in a competition to create a 10 - 60 sec. Public Service Announcement (PSA) on reducing trash, recycling, or something related. Any schools in the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County's (SWANCC) 23 member communities can participate. The deadline is March 14 and there are cash prizes! Here is the link for how to get involved. [|SWANCC_3_Competition_Criteria.doc] We are also posting up pictures from [|Chris Jordan] who uses photography to depict pretty shocking statistics about what we throw away. He has agreed to let us use some of his photos in our poster campaign. Our posters will also include the good news of how Maine East is addressing each trash problem.
