Recycling contesst -- win $$$

From a news release:

PEORIA -- Peoria’s going green this spring with a new curbside recycling program, and local organizations can earn cash prizes through a residential recycling drive sign-up contest.

We’re giving away $1500 in cash prizes to local organizations that help us make the program a success. We’re asking organizations to sign up City of Peoria households to participate.  It can be a great way to earn money for your organization! No money-handling required!

What’s going on? A contest to sign households up for the new city-wide curbside recycling program.

Who’s sponsoring the contest? Peoria County, City of Peoria and the Central Illinois Global Warming Solutions Group with prizes from Peoria County’s Department of Recycling and Resource Conservation, Midwest Fiber Recycling, and Rehrig Pacific.

When is it?  The contest just started and households must be signed up by April 15, 2010.  Winners will be announced at the Earth Day Festival April 24 at Forest Park Nature Center.

See the Central Illinois Global Warming Solutions Group web site for the full details and to download contest materials:

  • Telling the truth
    "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell "I found that to tell the truth is the hardest thing on earth, harder than fighting in a war, harder than taking part in a revolution." Richard Wright, 1944.
  • From the News Release
    PeoriaStory will tell the stories that likely won’t be told by the mainstream/corporate media. It will question local political candidates for their views on controversial topics. It will cover and profile off-beat movements and people. It will take stands on issues such as the Kellar trail. It will also serve as a forum for liberal and progressive events, and welcomes news releases from groups working for the public good. PeoriaStory will be a fresh, new voice for the Peoria area blogosphere, and offer a liberal and progressive perspective for our times.
