Thursday, November 13, 2008 | Team Meeting:

Please take some time to review the meeting presentation if you were unable to join us, and contact Heather with any questions you may have. Recycling was an issue that was discussed at the September meeting and we were able to develop one document which contains a list of all of the recycling facilities in Moore County along with their address, hours of operation, phone number, holiday schedule and most importantly, what materials they accept. To see this document, click on the “State of Recycling in Moore County.” We continue to update this document as more information becomes available to us.

Sustainable Sandhills staff members also gave an update on the projects presented at the kickoff meeting and allowed attendees to volunteer for projects they were interested in. Two new community projects were highlighted – Sandhills Community College Green Committee and Green Flyer Club, and the Spring 2009 Urban Farm Tour.

If you had $1,000 and a team of volunteers to accomplish something in your community, what would it be?

RECYCLING!

That was the consensus from the 40+ attendees at the 9/16/08 Kickoff Meeting. There was a lot of discussion about the need for improved recycling program in the county and some under-served municipalities. Other areas of interest included community gardens and water conservation efforts.

Let's get to work!
