Hi All,

I now realize that I can send attachments by replying in regular email, although still can’t seem to do it through the Google Groups pages (does anyone know if it is possible?).

Attached, please find posters for the CET PTA electronics recycling fundraiser (in case you can help post them around town) and also a information packet that give more detailed information on the problem of e-waste, and resources for disposing of larger items that we cannot collect at the recycling event.

Even if you do not plan to participate in the event, I hope the attached resources are useful for you and that you might help spread the word --> please forward!

Thanks!

 Wouldn't it be great if NY did this too?  If anyone is interested in
taking this up at a local level, please let me know.  I've lots to do,
but it could be worth the effort.
 
Cheers,
Leila

States Adopt Children’s Outdoor Bills of Rights
 
In an exciting development for the Children and Nature Movement, at
least eight states, and some cities and parks, have passed Children’s
Outdoor Bills of Rights or Environmental Literacy Plans. There are
Children’s Outdoor Bills of Rights working their way through
legislatures in at least three additional states. Many of these
initiatives resulted from enthusiastic and effective local Grassroots
efforts. If you know of a state or region that has passed or is in the
process of passing a Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights, please let us
know so we can update our list.
 
This is an excerpt from California’s Children’s Outdoor Bill of
Rights. California was the first state to pass such a bill. Many
states’ Bills of Rights are similar.
 
The California Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights provides that every
child should have the right to:
 
Discover California’s past, Splash in the water, Play in a safe place,
Camp under the stars, Explore nature, Learn to swim, Play on a team,
Follow a trail, Catch a fish, Celebrate their heritage.
 
The following states and regions have had Children’s Outdoor Bills of
Rights or Environmental Literacy Plans signed into law. (Click on the
region name for more information.)
 
California
 
Colorado
 
Florida
 
Illinois
 
Ohio
 
Oregon
 
Maryland
 
Nebraska
 
Tennessee
 
Acadia National Park
 
Chicago
 
Lansing
 
The following states have Children’s Outdoor Bills of Rights currently
working their way through their legislatures.
 
Georgia
 
Nevada
 
North Carolina
 
Wisconsin
 
There is great momentum regarding Children’s Outdoor Bills of Rights
and the role they can play in encouraging families to get out in
nature. Here’s to more citizens, lawmakers and, ultimately,
individuals, realizing the importance of such simple acts as climbing
a tree and camping under the stars, and then going out and acting on
them.
 
Maybe your state or region will be next!
