BUFFALO, N.Y. (April 15, 2013) — The Buffalo Sabres Green Team today announced it will be teaming up with the Buffalo Recycling Alliance to host a Community Carnival and RecycleFest on April 27, from 12 to 2 p.m. at Community Charter School, 404 Edison Avenue. All are invited for a chance to play games, win prizes, learn about recycling, and enjoy food and refreshments. Expect to see SabreTooth, the mascot of the Buffalo Sabres, as well as local dignitaries such as Assembly Member Crystal Peoples-Stokes at the event.
A part of Global Youth Service Day, RecycleFest is a celebration of youth involved in recycling projects and programs. Global Youth Service Day is an annual event in which youth around the world do acts of service for their communities. This year, the Buffalo Recycling Alliance has made recycling a focus for Global Youth Service Day in Buffalo. Youth from schools and universities in Buffalo are joining together to spread the word about recycling at their schools, in their homes, and in their communities.
Prior to the Community Carnival and RecycleFest, teams of youth will be walking throughout the neighborhood around the Community Charter School – picking up litter, educating local residents about recycling, and inviting them to the Carnival.
There is still time for youth and adults alike to volunteer. To get involved, contact Kyla Jaquish from the Buffalo Recycling Alliance at [email protected] or 716-852-4191 ext 115.
