Recycling around town

SCCG still exists, and we're still working on projects! While the college students are extremely busy with exams, Lisa Hartman, our awesome new leader, is a representative of Clifton Park's town alternative energy committee. Although alternative energy in Clifton Park will be (extremely) slow-coming, there are lots of things that can be done around town, like calculating the carbon footprint, increasing efficiency, and making recycling more widespread.
Our current goals are to:
1) get the recycling bins at the Clifton Commons labelled so that less garbage and more cans and bottles will go in them
2) start a recycling program in the middle schools, much like the one SCARCE operates at the high school.
We need a teacher at the middle school to be the leader of this recycling program, so please let us know if you know anyone that would be interested!
