The project category that we are entering is Zero Waste with the goals of both starting a phone book recycling campaign in our community and following up with a phone book opt-out campaign. Why opt-out? Helps conserve energy - companies that print them are burning up 3.2 kilowatt hours of electricity. • Saves trees - companies that print yellow pages had more than 19,000,000 trees destroyed. • Saves Fuel - companies that print yellow pages are wasting 7,200,000 barrels of fossil fuel. • Saves time - easier for consumers to find up to date listings online. • Good for the environment - stops unsolicited delivery of 540 million books per year. We will also be starting a crayon recycling program in our elementary schools and community through Crazy Crayons. Crazy Crayons "closes the loop" by taking broken/unwanted crayons and making new, sellable crayons. Both of these projects will be complimented with numerous community outreach events to promote Project Polar Bear and Polar Bears International.
