Where To Volunteer Part 1

Recycling

Let's face it, the world is kind of a jacked up place right now. The north pole is melting leaving Santa Claus and hundreds of polar bears dog paddling...bear paddling?...in the sea. The rain forests have been razed to make room for the new "Rain Forest Experience" theme park. Worst of all, global climate change has us unsure of what to wear. Is white after Labor Day okay now? It makes one want throw up one's hands in despair. Or maybe just throw up.

But you're not helpless. You can do your part to save our staggering old planet. And you can do it while enjoying the best festival in the whole world. Join the Recycling Committee. At Irish Fest we recycle proudly. The plastic bottles our soft drinks are served in, the wine bottles we pour from, our cardboard and paper. we're so green, I'm typing this with 40% fewer pixels than most blogs. Why? Cause we care, yo. And I know you do, too. That's why you should join the recycling team. A few more reasons:

1. Irish Fest recycling queen Natalie Smith is the bombdiggity. She's the big bad boss with the red hot sauce. She's Recyclosaurus Rex. And you'll have a great time working with her.

2. Recycling vols aren't tied down to one spot. You're out there, seeing the sights, getting some sun and exercise. Yes, there's some lifting now and then. But guess how much a bag full of empty plastic bottles weighs?

3. People love you. You're saving the planet! There's no down side. Nobody will complain that you're charging too much or that your lines are too long or that your blog is stupid. You're a hero. Feel the love all weekend, you deserve it.

4. We need you. Recycling is chronically understaffed. Isn't it nice to be needed?

I could go on and on, but you know, conserving pixels. But you've got more than enough reasons to join the greenest part of our green event. Sign up for recycling.
