WHOMP! HERE IT IS!!
PROJECT YOUTH RECYCLE!!!
A group of enterprising and talented youths
ages 9 to 1 6 have proven that recycling
sounds better with a beat! An entertaining
and educational video is the product of a
summer program entitled "PROJECT YOUTh
RECYCLE" sponsored by the City of Winstoi
Salem's RECYCLE TODAY program and
Keep Winston-Salem Beautiful, Inc.
JJ* young people from the East Winston
Community
'?PROJECT YOUTI
RECYCLE". They
spent one month
YOUTH
learning about
and exploring
first hand how
recycling and
solid waste
operations
work in ^
Winston- ff
Salem. After
seeing it "up
close and
personal", the
kids were
challenged with the
task of producing a
N
THE SHOW IS GOING
ON THE ROAD
The video will be aired several times on the
Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School
Channel 2 during the month or December.
Additionally, the video will be shown to
school groups, civic organizations and
visitors touring the BFI Cecyclery. It's an
effective tool in reinforcing the recycling
message. Equally important, the
video serves as an example
that young people are fast
learners and powerful
messengers - even when the
language is their very own!
This is the first year the City
of Winston-Salem has
sponsored PROJECT
YOUTH RECYCLE and
because of its success thus
far, the project will likely
become an annual event.
Our sincere thanks to the
sponsors and participants of
our premier PROJECT YOUTH
RECY&E:
&
video to encourage norv
recyclers to "get with the program"
specifically, tne Curbside Recycling Program.
THE RECYCLE RAP
The resulting video, which was written,
produced and performed by the participants,
is creative and effective in its message. The
video includes a mock newscast by WREC-TV
(Recycling, Education in the Community TV),_
and includes an EXCLUSIVE interview with a
Garbologist who's discovered an amazing
phenomena at an old landfill.
The video pokes holes in the lame excuses
used by norvrecyclers. The rap video uses
humor and the sincerity of youth to recruit
converts to the recycling crusade.
