Wishcycling Program
Join us on May 20th at 5:30 to learn about Wishcycling with ecomaine! Are you guilty of Wishcycling? Wishcycling is the practice of tossing materials into your recycling bin without knowing whether they are truly recyclable, which has many negative impacts on the recycling process. From plastic grocery bags to Styrofoam, loose bottle caps, and more, commonly wishcycled items are easy to come by and confusing to dispose of properly. Just because a piece of plastic is labeled with chasing arrows does not always mean it’s recyclable. This presentation explores the ins and outs of recycling, the many impacts of wishcycling on the recycling process, and a behind-the-scenes look at ecomaine’s single-sort recycling facility. Attendees are encouraged to bring a mystery item they are wondering about whether it is recyclable to share!
From the Director
What a huge success, folks — because of you, our online auction raised $16,168 from 268 bids! THANK YOU for your continued support and I truly hope that you had some fun playing in the auction.
On another note, rarely do I go off campus with my newsletter updates but this cause holds a special place in my heart. When my girls were 12 and 15, they lost their father. It was hard finding a place that could support them and our family. The Center for Grieving Children has recently opened their doors in Sanford and will soon be moving to an even better facility. It’s an amazing organization that helps children and families navigate loss. They’re seeking volunteers with empathy and compassion, people ready to be deeply fulfilled by helping others while being supported by the Center. You’ll change someone’s life and be deeply fulfilled for it. If this speaks to you, reach out to me to learn more.
All my very best, Lesley
