Join Friends of Rogers and Kimberly LaCoe, Regional\u00a0Coordinator of Recycling Outreach and Education with the New York State Department of Environmental\u00a0Conservation, as this interactive workshop series continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue the celebration of \u2018America Recycles Day\u2019 on December 20 with a \u201cTrash Swap\u201d and\u00a0scavenger hunt. Reusing objects helps divert material from landfills, but sometimes items outgrow\u00a0their ability to be repurposed; however, one person\u2019s trash is another\u2019s treasure! Before discarding\u00a0that no-longer-needed item, bring it to the \u201cTrash Swap.\u201d Then peruse this free garage sale for new\u00a0treasures. The fun doesn\u2019t end there, as a scavenger hunt will be held as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the spirit of the holiday season, please bring a nonperishable food item to be donated to a local food\u00a0pantry. Any remaining swap items will also be donated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll never take trash at face value or look at it the same way,\u201d said LaCoe. \u201cBring a friend or two.\u00a0The more the merrier. Remember, it is interactive so, the more conversation, the more eye opening\u00a0and learning the experience will be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s Easy Being Green\u201d will be held at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 20 at Rogers Environmental Education\u00a0Center, just off state Route 80 in Sherburne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rogers Center is operated by Friends of Rogers Environmental Education Center, Inc., a nonprofit\u00a0organization that offers educational programs for people of all ages. Seasonal hours are from 10 a.m.\u00a0to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt\u2019s Easy Being Green\u201d continues at Rogers Environmental Education Center While Kermit the Frog may say otherwise, the team at Rogers Environmental Education Center continues to\u00a0demonstrate that it is actually easy to be green!
