Tonight we are going to start our Forever Green project! We are working toward reducing plastic waste. The girls will sign a pledge card, promising to work with their friends and family to switch from single-use to reusable bags and bottles. They will also work to recycle all plastic containers, bags and bottles.
Each girl will get a copy of this year's plan. Please be sure to read through it with your Girl Scout and support her in work!
Tonight, each girl will be given a re-usable water bottle, with a Forever Green Tag attached. Every time your family refills a re-usable water bottle, mark a tally on the appropriate week. We will begin marking tallies on the tags on January 21st until February 21st. Each girl should turn in their Forever Green Tag at the meeting on February 21st. I will total all of the tally marks and enter them into the Forever Green website, which will add them to all the other Forever Green Girl Scouts across the world.
We will also be challenging our teachers to use re-usable water bottles, so be sure to cheer them on as well!
