Limited Edition Calendars Available
To Encourage Recycling
The
2004 Kansas Don’t Spoil It! Limited Edition wall calendar featuring
original artwork by Kansas students is now available from the Kansas Department
of Health and Environment (KDHE). The calendar is available free for a
limited time (while supplies last) to Kansas residents by calling KDHE
at (800) 282-9790 before December 31.
Last
spring, nearly 4,000 Kansas students from grades K through 12 submitted
artwork for the calendar depicting ways Kansans can preserve the beauty
and natural resources of their state. Individual entries were judged and
winners selected for each grade plus an overall winner. Now in its fifth
year, the contest has seen increased student participation and use by
teachers who utilize the calendar as a resource tool in the classroom.
Pledge cards to keep our State clean by practicing the Three R’s:
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle will be included with each calendar. Anyone
who returns their pledge card to the KDHE, Bureau of Waste Management,
will be entered in a drawing for a Kansas Don’t Spoil It! beverage
mug or tote bag.
For more information on how Kansans can recycle, compost, and properly
dispose of household hazardous waste, visit the Kansas Don’t Spoil
It! website: www.kansasdontspoilit.com
