FW: recycling bin competition

Hi All,
 
Judy has put together the the start of the competition description.  I would add the text in blue.  I'm hoping everyone can help to further this.  Michael - any luck with the Boy Scouts?  Denise - could you help us with contacts for the Girls Scouts?  I would also suggest that we limit the competition to five groups.  We should also attach a scanned copy of the Waste Mgmt flyer to make sure that the group has the correct list of recyclable items.
 
Thanks,
 
Michelle

Hi Michelle,

Is this the sort of description we need?  Do we need more info/details at this point, or just this basic idea?

 

   

       The Atkinson Energy  Efficiency Committee would like to have a competition between a few youth groups to create Recycling Displays using the recycling bin as a base, and creatively displaying the types of waste that can be recycled at the curbside.  The aim is to increase recycling participation in the town through increased awareness and education.  The bin displays would be placed prominently at Town Hall (encouraging new residents to pick one up while they are there), the library, and the community center.  Each group would work together to create one display.  We are contacting local businesses to see if they would provide prizes for the winners.

 

A recycling bin can be picked up at the Selectmen's office at Town Hall.  Entries should be dropped off at the Town Hall between April 20th and April 22nd for judging.

 

I suspect before we send this out to any youth groups we'll need to add a few more details like where, when and how the competition would be judged, and probably a lot more that I can't think of at the moment.

March 09 Minutes

Hi Everyone,
 
Here's a draft of the minutes from last night's meeting.  Let me know if I forgot anything.

Re: Next meeting

The second Monday of the month is usually ok.  However, because of last Monday's snow, the event I have had on that night is moved to tonight.  So, I will not be able to make this meeting, today.

Hi Everyone,
 
According to our new schedule (meeting on the second Monday of the month through April), we are scheduled to have a meeting on Monday, March 9th.  There is not room available at the Town Hall that night, so I'm going to schedule a room at the library.  We'll have to start at 7pm sharp, since we have to finish up by the time the library closes at 8pm.  Judy Wainwright is also interested in joining our committee!
 
The agenda will include the following: 

• RGGI funding opportunities and timelines 
• Developing some goals for the year
• Scheduling joint meeting with Planning Board and Rockingham Planning Commission member to develop Master Plan language

 
See you there!
 
Michelle

RE: Next meeting

Michelle:

 

I'll be in Chicago.

 

Could you also talk about the potential of what it would take and cost for a FULL energy audit for the Fire Station? Dave Weymouth has been asking.

 

Thank you,

Hi All,
 
I registered for the following webinar.  Thought some of you might be interested, as well.  Please let me know if you register, so that we can brainstorm/discuss ideas for Atkinson. 
 
Michelle
 
P.S. I hope to get more data entered into the Performance Tracker - so far, I've only done the Town Hall.  If you're interested in the results, let me know and I'll forward login info or reports.

Energy Efficiency Stimulus Funding Technical Assistance - Plan, Monitor, and Report Results with ENERGY STAR^® Tools

 

Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, both State and Local governments will receive substantial funding to implement energy efficiency initiatives in their jurisdictions.  Join the U.S. EPA's ENERGY STAR team for this practical session that will provide you with the knowledge you need to leverage ENERGY STAR resources.  An interactive Webinar will be held on Thursday, March 12 from 1:00-2:30 pm where you will learn:

 

1) Opportunities in existing buildings for quick reductions in energy use.

 

2) How EPA's Portfolio Manager (building energy tracking system) can be used to quickly and easily prioritize energy efficiency projects in buildings, measure progress, and verify/report results.

 

3)  How you can leverage the ENERGY STAR program to help create a self-renewing energy management program for the long term.

 

Guest speakers from state and local ENERGY STAR partners will highlight ways they have used EPA's Portfolio Manager as the energy tracking tool for public buildings as well as a platform for private sector building energy efficiency initiatives.

 

Speakers for this session will include:

•       Mike Zatz, Chief of the ENERGY STAR Market Sectors Group, U.S. EPA, will provide an overview of the tools and resources available through ENERGY STAR.

•       Eric Coffman, Senior Energy Planner for Montgomery County, MD, will describe how the County is using Portfolio Manager to identify the buildings with the greatest opportunity for improvements (invited).

•       Julien Gaudion from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will explain how Portfolio Manager is being used to track and report on the results of small business energy efficiency grants disbursed by the commonwealth.

 

Participants will need to register for this Webinar.  To register, please complete the following steps: 

•       Visit https://energystar.webex.com/energystar and click on the session titled “Make the Most of Your Energy Efficiency Stimulus Funding - Plan, Monitor, and Report Results with ENERGY STAR Tools” under “Training Center.”
