In 2009…

• Our program was represented on 94 event days and experienced by 656,000 people (up from 71 events in 2008).
• Our recycling bins were utilized at 15 small event community functions.
• We partnered with nearly 20 area non-profit organizations and for-profit businesses to ensure environmental consciousness at events big and small in the St. Louis region.
