The local Poudre Canyon Group of the Sierra Club is managing the 'Zero Waste' program for a second year in a row for the Horsetooth-Half Marathon and we are in need of volunteers to donate 2+ hours of time.  Zero Waste is an environmental program that removes litter impact from the race course, and reduces the amount of litter sent to the landfill by over 90%.

Zero Waste is a simple, and an extremely effective project where we divert as much trash that would normally be headed to the landfill to other areas such as: Recycling and Compost.

Last year alone we diverted over 90% of all event produced trash from the landfill into compost and recycling! That's recycling at its best, and it also reduces methane emissions from the landfill. Something to be very happy about.

New Beliguim Brewery has graciously donated a 'Fat Tire Cruiser' bike for giveaway! Tickets are only $2 each, or three for $5.  I wish I could enter the giveaway, but good luck to you!

Please select a time-frame that works best for you and your friends to volunteer. All details will be provided via email and also found on our blog at: www.SierraClubPCG.org and on Twitter:  @SierraClubPCG

WHAT DO YOU GET?

ALL ZERO WASTE VOLUNTEERS RECEIVE A FREE SIERRA CLUB 'ECONCIOUS' 
T-SHIRT and TWO ENTRIES IN THE NEW BELGIUM FAT TIRE CRUISER BIKE RAFFLE!!  (t-shirts, while supplies last and min of 2 hours volunteer time please)

BONUS: You will receive one additional raffle entry ticket for each additional hour you volunteer. EXAMPLE: Volunteer a minimum of 2 hours for the Zero Waste Program and you receive two raffle tickets. Volunteer 3 hours = 3 raffle tickets, 4 hours = four raffle tickets! You can earn up 9 raffle tickets and a free t-shirt for volunteering!! Select as many time-slots as you wish to volunteer for.

Thank you and I'll see you there, SUNDAY APRIL 22ND.

  Citizens Groups Promote #CoFracking Twitter Hashtag

Denver – Today, several Colorado citizens groups announced that they will begin using and promoting the #CoFracking hashtag for social media communications about fracking in Colorado. As fracking marches across the Front Range landscape, the issue is fast becoming one of the hottest topics in the state.The recent change in the state’s fracking rules, numerous allegations of groundwater pollution, increased private property concerns, and massive interest in fracking by local governments has catapulted the issue to the front page of almost every newspaper in the state.The citizens groups predict that public and media attention will continue to accelerate through the 2012 Colorado legislative session and beyond.

The groups encourage the use of the #CoFrackinghashtag to post information about:

Bills in the state legislature dealing with fracking

Local government drilling and fracking regulations and moratoriums

State and federal rulemaking, guidance, and legislation that applies to Colorado

State and federal fracking on public lands in Colorado Oil/Gas/Fracking money – where it goes, who gets it, who’s influenced by it

Position statements made by public officials and agency personnel about fracking

Spills, pollution, poisoning, and accidents associated with fracking

And announcements about public meetings and educational sessions about fracking in Colorado.

Use of the #CoFrackinghashtag will allow ease of information sharing and rapid searches on Twitter on the topic of fracking in Colorado.To use #CoFracking, just put“#CoFracking” anywhere in the tweet and it will show up on a twitter search page for #CoFracking for any Twitter user to see.

The citizens groups are encouraging all people, groups, public officials, local governments, and agencies to use the #CoFracking hashtag so that the Twitter search page can become a trove of easily accessible information about fracking in Colorado.
