Are you looking for more great tips on how you can green your life? Look no further than the Green Fair at the Trutter Center at Lincoln Land Community College from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday.
At the Green Fair, you can learn all about topics including recycling, saving energy and water, green cleaning, local food, renewable energy, and more from the local businesses and organizations who have displays at the event. In addition, we’ll have 20-minute mini “green” workshops running throughout the event. Plus you’ll have the chance to watch a live cooking demonstration performed by Chef Charles Campbell (and taste the results!) and can sign up to win some great green prizes. For the schedule of events and more information, head to the Green Center website.
And don’t forget to join Professor Tony Rothering for a nature walk and some bird-watching from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, too. We’ll meet outside of A. Lincoln Commons to start the nature walk. Anyone who’s interested is welcome!

Recycling Has Last Laugh
Keep America Beautiful and Partners Launch "Recycling Is No Joke" Contest for American Recycles Day
Have you ever thought, "Recycling doesn't make a difference." We hate to be blunt, but you are wrong. It benefits our economy, creates jobs, saves energy and protects natural resources. So help Keep America Beautiful and its partners show that "recycling is no joke" by participating in the first-ever America Recycles Day (ARD) video contest, open to contestants of all ages. Contestants are eligible to win $1,000 if they can make the judges (and the public) laugh.
The video contest runs through October 21, 2011. Submissions can be anything ranging from a one-liner, to a comic strip or skit about recycling, but the video must show recycling in a positive, humorous manner. The video needs to be uploaded to the ARD YouTube page by October 21, 2011, as a response to a short video that explains the competition. The ARD Video Committee will vote on the top 10 winners and upload them to a YouTube playlist on our ARD page by November 8, 2011. During the following week, the public will pick the winning videos by clicking the "like" button associated with their favorite video. Voting ends on America Recycles Day. Full rules found here.
