Trash to Trees Holiday Tree Decorating Compitition
Friday, November 19
Each year Americans produce an incredible amount of additional waste. It's estimated that we produce 25 percent or more household waste during the period from Thanksgiving to New Years compared to the rest of the year. This turns about to be about one million additional tons of garbage to our landfills each week during the holidays. That's a lot of garbage!
The Inverness Hotel and Tagawa Gardens, in partnership with The Mile High Million, founded the Trash to Trees program to help raise community awareness about the importance of recycling and making eco-friendly choices, in particular during the holiday season.
Trash to Trees is a tree decorating competition that encourages students in grades 1-8 to be artistic instead of a statistic. The competition challenges students to use recycled or re-purposed items to decorate a holiday tree and earn some ‘green' for their school.
Join us for this third annual, one-of-a-kind tree art display and vote for your favorite tree, or better yet, pledge your support with a donation to the school and be entered in a prize drawing to be held on December 15, 2010. Trees will be on display at The Inverness Hotel in Englewood December 4-12.
