The Co-Op Country Fair

Green Teen member Claire Murtha-Paradis invited the Green Teens to participate in a local Fall Festival at the Willimantic Food Co-Op in the nearby city, Willimantic. The Green Teens had held several Eco-Bag booths at the store in the past (however, never as part of an event), and decided this time a CFL Fundraiser would be just right! The group sold the extra CFL lightbulbs (left over from our CFL Exchange in April) for $1 each, over a 66% discount from regular store prices. The club raised over $100 (which is not bad, considering we did not even have 100 bulbs left!) and talked to some interesting members of the community about taking our pojects to the next level & implementing them in other schools and communities!
It is safe to say- the day went very well!!
