Now that we have our assessment kits ready to go, we are busy making appointments with businesses and organizations in our area. We thought we would show you what the kits look like. We used folders made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials, and eco-friendly paper made from banana peels, grass, and elephant poop. We love it! For the front of the folder, we printed stickers with the project name. Inside the folder we put two papers: the first one is a letter explaining what we are doing, and the second one is the important part, the actual assessment sheet where CO2 and money saved can be calculated for each of seven options. We love the design of our kits, complete with Arctic backgrounds and wild polar bears.

We have already made appointments with several companies, and are close to getting our first commitments. We are very excited about our progress so far and how we are being received in the community.
This coming weekend we are going to have a booth set up at the Mayor's Healthy Hike event at Jefferson Memorial Forest. We hope to get a lot of individual pledges and make appointments with companies to show them our kit. We will keep you updated on our progress.
