Trex Plastics Challenge
We did it again! We picked up another 109 pounds of plastic film from the Springfield Town Library and the Springfield Food Co-op towards our goal of another 500 pounds. It was delivered to Shaw's Supermarket and on its way to Trex Company for recycling. So far, we have removed 1089 pounds of plastic from the waste system. As we start towards our goal of another 500 pounds, Union Neighborhood Park Association has signed up as a sponsor.

Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.
