County Commissioners Honor Students for America
Recycles Day Posters
(Port Orchard, WA) – At their regular televised meeting on November 9,
the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners will honor local students who won
the annual America Recycles Day poster contest.
November 15 is the 12th annual America Recycle's Day celebration which
focuses public attention on the social, economic, and environmental benefits
of recycling. The theme is, “It All Comes Back To You”, to emphasize that to
close the recycling loop you must buy products made from the items you've
recycled.
This year, winning posters appear in the newspaper as a result of a
public-private partnership with the Kitsap Sun. In addition, the entries
are on the Kitsap Sun’s online poster gallery.
“We are very pleased to honor not only these winners, but also all those
students who show their commitment to recycling every day. They recognize
that the future of this earth really is in our hands, and that what we do
now to conserve resources and protect the environment will have an impact on
generations to come“, said Pat Campbell, Program Manager for the Solid Waste
Division.
This year’s winners are:
Bryce Baird, Cross Point Academy, Grade K
Ann Cabacungan, Hidden Creek Elementary School, Grade 1
