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.

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!!!! Ginette L. Vinski Pennsylvania Resources Council, Inc.
