Jazz Fest was today. It was a lot of fun. Thank you to everyone who came out. I hope you enjoyed yourselves. For those that weren't there, we made recycled paper with kids (and a few fun loving adults.) It was nice to see kids get excited about how simple of a process it was. I think it "clicked" in a lot of kids minds that recycling paper isn't this magical process. I hope that will be a seed in them that will grow.
Fun Facts:
- Americans throw away enough office paper each year to build a 12-foot high wall from New York to Seattle.
- Making paper from recycled paper reduces contributions from air pollution by 95%
- Recycling a stack of newspaper just 3ft high saves one tree.
