Hi
everyone,
The PA Resources
Council (PRC) has two upcoming opportunities where we could really use
the help of some energetic, outgoing volunteers! Are you
available??
1)
On Saturday, July 7, PRC is partnering with SciTech to
celebrate GreenFest Pittsburgh, a Friends of Live Earth Event, at the Carnegie
Science Center. Help is needed from noon until
5pm. Volunteers will help monitor our Recycling Olympics
games (which is a lot of fun). PRC staff will be on hand to provide
support and instructions.
During the GreenFest, participants will be able
to:
·
Experience the
global Live Earth concert on the Buhl Digital Dome;
· Enjoy fun, eco-friendly, hands-on activities, demos,
films and more;
· Compete in the Recycling Olympics;
· Be amazed by the PA Resources Council's Recycling and
Magic Show;
· Hit the runway in our Eco Fashion Contest and try to win
a $100 cash prize;
· Bring old cell phones and ink cartridges to enter a
drawing for cool prizes;
· Learn simple things you can do to improve the
environment,
Then stay for a concert on the lawn featuring Donnie
Iris and the Cruisers, Good Brother Earl and The Switch.

Pittsburgh can be found at www.CarnegieScienceCenter.org.

2)
On Saturday, July 14, PRC is hosting a "hard to recycle"
collection event at Construction Junction. In addition to collecting a
number of materials, we're also partnering with the City of Pittsburgh to
celebrate the newly renovated recycling drop off at Construction Junction.
The hours are from 10am-2pm (volunteers would need to arrive by
9:30). We need help unloading vehicles, directing traffic in
the parking lot, and facilitating some activities and contests.
Refreshments will be provided.
Please let
me know if you're available for either of these events as soon as
possible. Volunteers will receive a coupon for one free hour of kayaking
courtesy of Kayak Pittsburgh!!
Thank
you!!!!
