Zero-Waste Results!

bjfwebbie — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 21:22:02 +0000

We are thrilled to share this report from Eco-Cycle about the Zero Waste program at the 2010 Boulder Jewish Festival:

“I hope you have recovered from the hard work of the Boulder Jewish Festival! This year’s results were great, you had an 88% diversion rate! That’s up from last year’s total of 85%. I was extremely impressed with each vendor, and their willingness to use compostable materials. There was 100% vendor compliance, which is extremely difficult. . . 88% is the best we’ve had so far at that location. Great job!”

Following is a breakdown of the benefits of your recycling and composting efforts:

RESOURCES IMPACT – YOUR EVENT RECOVERED:

459 pounds of materials through recycling and composting
88% of all your discards!

ENERGY & CLIMATE IMPACTS – YOUR EVENT SAVED:

42 gallons of gasoline in energy savings
4,869 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent of taking .4 cars off the road for a year

COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPACTS – YOUR EVENT AVOIDED:

7.8 pounds of air pollution
4.1 pounds of water pollution
4.5 pounds of toxic herbicides that threaten plants, wildlife, humans and our food systems
1.018 pounds of substances that threaten human health, including carcinogens, particulate matter and volatile organic compounds

Thanks for working toward Zero Waste!

In a Pickle?

bjfwebbie — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 21:00:05 +0000

When life gives you gherkins, make pickles! Lubavitch of Boulder County invites you to learn how to make your own pickles with Rabbi Pickle of California at our booth at the Boulder Jewish Festival, this Sunday, June 6 on the Pearl Street Mall. Show times are 12, 1:30 and 3. As in the past, Rabbi Liberow, a scribe from Colorado Springs will be checking Mezuzos for only $7 a scroll while you wait as well as selling new scrolls. Please tell your friends to bring their scrolls with them for checking.

As always, don’t miss Ezra’s amazing kosher hotdogs and hamburgers at LB Kosher Grill… and this year, you can buy your own pickles.
