Sam Baker, a teacher at Lake Placid High School, visited us today with lots of discarded plastic wrapping, scissors and gloves in order to demonstrate and seek support for a program from Trex Corporation to collect such wrappings and recycle them into a community resource such as a bench. This program is being followed in Saranac Lake so Sam came to see if our club was interested in supporting the project and earning a "reward" for participating. Details of the Trex company's project with some explanatory charts may be found at https://nextrex.com/view/recyclingchallenge This is an interesting project which could be considered by our Interact group and there is also interest in placing a collection bin at Town Hall.
