Even I Am "Going Green" in Irving

Hey kiddos. I've found some great opportunities for you to get involved at any age. All of the following events are supported through Irving's City Council and community members.

1. Be a "Blue Bag Buddy".
This is for the recycler in you. Anybody that is wanting to promote curb side recycling can sign up for this program. You will receive a "Blue Bag" promotion kit featuring pins, buttons, a tee shirt, flyers and other goodies to show off your passion. Sign up with a friend or an organization to make your experience more of an impact.

2. Irving Master Composter Training Program
This program is for all ages. Sign up online. You will learn the basics of composts, how to make it, and the fundamentals of your backyard's dirt. You will even be digging though the landfill in Irving. This program is absolutly hands on for those of you that really want to make a difference. It costs $20 for training, but this will be refunded for those that make it through training. This team meets on Saturdays. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

I hope you all will take full advantage of these materials. All it takes is a few clicks with your mouse to create real change. Keep in mind, change can be hoped for. Untill change is seen, there will continue to be a lack of motivation. Make the difference.
