Green Team at the Dodge Poetry Festival at New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) October 7-10, 2010

Volunteers are needed to participate on the Green Team at the Dodge Poetry Festival at New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) October 7-10, 2010.  The Green Team is responsible for ensuring the Dodge Poetry Festival is as "green" an event as possible.  Volunteers will educate attendees on our resource recovery process, purpose and the impact of proper disposal. Volunteers ensure that attendees deposit their waste in the proper cans by staffing Resource Recovery Stations located throughout the event hall. Four bins are included at each station - recycling, compost, liquids and landfill. Each bin is clearly labeled to ensure proper disposal of items.  At events past, the Green Team has achieved a 96% waste diversion, which means only 4% of all potential waste actually went to a landfill!  The Green Team could not exist without volunteer participation. We will utilize over 400 volunteers during the Poetry Festival to staff our resource recovery stations and provide a final sort of all waste in the “back-of-house.”  Contact Kristi Koehler, National Volunteer Manager Recruiting for the Dodge Poetry Festival 2010 at NJPAC Seven Star Events at 828-236-0324 ext. 130 / kristi@sevenstarevents.com for more information or to sign up.
