A GreenBeing Mention

The Sustainable Oregon Schools Initiative, SOS, is a project of the Zero Waste Alliance. I am proud to highlight that my "GreenBeings Invasion" website has received their attention. Read their "Eco-Friendly Fund Raising" article and see if they deserve to win the National Recycling Coalition's Annual Awards and make your nominations.
