Volunteer for Ithaca Fest Green Team!
Kat McCarthy
Hello Friends,
The Zero Waste Festival Alliance (ZWFA) is looking for volunteers to help
compost, recycle, and reduce waste at Ithaca Fest!
To accomplish our goal, we will need a large group of ENTHUSIASTIC AND MOTIVATED
VOLUNTEERS who will:
1.Interact one-on-one with event attendees, explaining what can be recycled,
what can be composted, etc.
2.Manage separation stations where we’ll separate discards into recyclables,
compostables, and trash
3.Compute volumes of waste generated at each event and discuss strategies to
further reduce waste volumes
In exchange for service, volunteers will develop skills for becoming an
effective public educator as well as develop a greater awareness of sustainable
waste management. Most importantly, and as will all volunteer work,
volunteers will provide an important service to your local community and global
environment.
The ZWFA is now CALLING FOR MOTIVATED VOLUNTEERS, of all ages, to join
us. The Ithaca Festival (May 28th-31st) is the first opportunity
for volunteers. Below is a list of shifts we will need to fill
during the festival. We encourage volunteers to sign up for at least two
shifts if possible. This will allow the volunteer to gain more experience
on the job and as a public educator. Obviously, volunteering offers a
broad range of social, emotional, mental, and physical benefits, but at this
event, there are two more incentives, FREE SHIRT and FOOD VOUCHERS after an
individual has volunteered for a defined amount of time.
Please contact me at Lenno...@hotmail.com for sign-ups or more information. Please also pass along
to anyone you feel may be interested.
Thanks,
Kat McCarthy and the Zero Waste Team
