H581: Going Green 101 in Splash! Fall 2009 (Oct. 10 - 11, 2009)
By now we all know that the environment-- and how we treat it-- matters.

This class will give you the basics on recycling, composting etc. We'll go over easy, quick, and fun ways to reduce your carbon footprint. We'll also spend some of the class decorating reusable bags that you can bring with you to the store instead of using plastic or paper ones!
