Subject: Upcoming RecycleNOW Community Activist Trainings
Thanks again for your interest in RecycleNOW! We’ve scheduled the
following trainings to become a Community Recycling Activist. We
hope you’ll attend.
RecycleNOW Community Activist Trainings
Help your neighborhood be clean and green!
In partnership with RecycleBank, the company behind the
Philadelphia Recycling Rewards program, RecycleNOW Philadelphia is
now training community recycling activists to sign people up for
the program so we can help more people recycle more material. You
can help make a difference in your community by helping to sign-up
your neighbors, co-workers, friends, family, church members,
reading club, or anyone else!
Why should you become a Community Recycling Activist?
You -- and 12,000 recycling supporters like you – demanded
RecycleBank! Now that the program is citywide, we need to make it
successful by getting more people signed up.
Recycling Rewards are accumulated on a community basis, so the more
of your neighbors that participate in the program, the more rewards
you all receive!
Despite making tremendous strides in improving recycling in
Philadelphia, 80% of residential waste is still going to landfills
and incinerators.
We must do better, and the rewards program provides the incentive
that many people need to start recycling, or to recycle more.
Attend a Community Activist Training in your neighborhood where
recycling experts will answer commonly asked questions, and provide
you all the information and materials you need to help sign up
others.
