First Shred Day of 2013

The First Shred Day of 2013 at Hollowbrook Community Center on April 27th was awe-inspiring. There was a true collaboration of the Twp crew, more than a dozen TCNJ Alpha Phi Omega coed service fraternity members, several Ewing HS key & robotic students, neighborhood association and Green Team volunteers. Especially effective and generous with handouts, food, drink & organization was Recycling Team Leader Lisa Feldman, ably abetted by Kim Nickleson, Joanne Mullowney & Pete Boughton.

There was a steady stream of cars for nearly 4 hours and many got handed the goodie bags of recycling info til they ran out at about 175. Mayor Steinmann & Adm Jim McManimon also came out to share the day. Tip o the hat to Township Recycling Coordinator Tom Elder for an excellent outcome.

Beautification Project and Site Clean Up

Flowers got planted & curb edges scraped of weeds, leaves and man-made trash. Our student volunteers were awesome!

More to Come…

A whole setup of 3 recycle art projects awaited kids who did not come, but look again on July 20 at ESCC and Nov 30 at Town Hall.

Enjoy the pics from the day.

There are finite resources on our planet. As Americans we enjoy a comfortable lifestyle; compared to many parts of the world, maybe too comfortable. We have lived – and continue to live – as if there are infinite resources for us at our disposal. We live in a throwaway society – disposable diapers, disposable razors, paper towels, copy paper, plastic bags; you get the picture – and the following helps with the big picture.

We hope the importance of recycling and its role in sustainability makes more sense; and people can better understand how critical it is for everyone to participate! When we put out our paper, glass bottles, plastic, etc.; it’s helpful to see the relevance and that if we don’t start conserving our resources today; our children might not have enough for their future tomorrow. Many people are still not convinced and think this is just another way for the government to interfere. There are plenty of facts to prove that this is real and that we have to act now. So we all have to get with the program to make a difference!
