Subject:      Invitation - The Earth Day Groceries Project

From: Mark Ahlness <mahlness@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hello all,
(please distribute widely)

Earth Day (35th anniversary!)  is coming soon - April 22! This is your
invitation to join in on one of the oldest and largest educational
activities coordinated on the Internet: The Earth Day Groceries Project.
Celebrating its twelfth  year on the Internet, this is a free environmental
education activity where students are empowered as educators in their
communities.

The web site: http://www.earthdaybags.org

The procedure:
1) a school/group borrows paper bags from a local grocery store
2) students decorate those bags with beautiful environmental art and
environmental awareness messages, and then return the bags to the store
3) the store distributes those bags (full of groceries) to amazed shoppers
on Earth Day
4) the school sends in a report to the project web site, documenting its
participation

You do not need to register. It doesn't cost anything. All that's needed is
someone to organize the project at your school (other groups can
participate, too!). Stop by the web site to find out more.  You'll find
complete directions, an FAQ, screensavers, PowerPoint presentations, desktop
wallpaper, and much more!

In its twelve years on the Internet, this project has put several million
pieces of inspirational art, carefully created on grocery bags by children
who cared about their Earth, in the arms and homes of people around the
world. In the spirit of environmental awareness, and hoping to make a
difference in that world, the message will be sent out once again in 2005. I
hope you and your school will be a part of it. Happy Earth Day! - Mark
