How to help BCV!
The decision of what teams get the Best Buy @15 grants depends on how many votes each team will get. Please vote for the Box City Vigil every day! If we were to receive this grant, the money would be spent on basic expenses to put on the event and we are also going to put together hygiene kits to give to local homeless shelters. We also hope to increase the visibility and participation of our event. We hope to make BCV 2009 a great success thanks to your votes.
There are 3 ways to vote each day. All ways are FREE and take very little time!!

THE COMPOST CAF. PROJECT:
--@15 Challenge Entry--
The Compost Caf. Project
The Compost Caf. Project was initiated by the Green Teens in the Spring of 2008, but is now just getting started. The goal of the project is to transform the E.O. Smith Cafeteria (and then spread the project to other schools) into a compost production center rather than a wasteful lunch room.
How will we go about ensure that our cafeteria takes steps towards becoming zero waste?

Currently, our high school uses mostly Styrofoam and plastic in the cafeteria, and it all gets thrown out, the Green Teens are about to change that!

Green Teens Earth Day '08: CFL Exchange
Image
In order to Celebrate Earth Day 2008 the Green Teens set up a CFL Exchange at the Mansfiled Community Center. We put out a press release asking the public to bring in their old/used incandecent bulbs and for each one collected, we gave out a free CFL. The club gave out 250 or so bulbs, and collected many more (people tended to drop off all of their old light bulbs since the town does not have an Incandecent Bulb recycling program and it usually costs about 30 cents to properly dispose of a bulb)!
