Recycled Centerpieces, Trash to Treasure - Day 9

Today hubby and I lead Rhody's cub scout meeting to make centerpieces for the Blue and Gold Ceremony.  We provided the boys with a variety of recycled supplies and the centerpieces look great!  

We are lucky to have access to an amazing resource called Resource (Recycling) for RI Education (www.rrie.org).   

RIEE helps businesses reduce their waste management costs and to divert waste from Rhode Island's waste stream.  Teachers, scout leaders, or other groups can join RIEE for a small fee and benefit from the interesting but extremely useful supplies. RRIE encourages "creative educational opportunities" and strives to "nourish learning through exploration and discovery" while keeping trash out of the landfill and allowing for treasures such as our centerpieces to be created.  It's a WIN-WIN!!
