You've seen the colorful SCRAP-Mobile riding around town... You've seen us at community events... We're the resourcefully crafty folks causing surprised faces and inspiring reuse by such creations as floppy disk CD cases and milk label wallets. Now's the time to join in on the innovative action and give some time to your local non-profit SCRAP. Email or call me, Carol, if you can make it. Hope to see you there.
SCRAP--The School and Community Reuse Action Project--is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and our mission is to promote creative reuse and environmentally sustainable behavior by providing educational programs and affordable materials to the community.

For Healthy Communities We Need a Clean Willamette River
Join Sierra Club for our Earth Day Celebrations and Canvasses and take the chance to stand up for the Willamette River. The Willamette River runs through all of our communities, and because we are so far downstream the Portland area gets the brunt of the pollution that ends up in the river. The Sierra Club is working on a campaign to stop toxic dumping in the river at levels we know are unsafe and to protect our communities from harmful toxins like mercury and lead. This is your chance to gather with your community members as we talk to our neighbors about the river and give others a chance to encourage the Department of Environmental Quality to take action to make our water clean and healthy. For each canvass, we'll meet for coffee and breakfast, hear speakers on the issue, and after the canvass, we'll finish up at the park for a bar-b-que. For more information and to RSVP, contact Erica at (503) 243-6656, x301 or erica.maharg@sierraclub.org
