Santa’s Workshop at The Green Home

In Waste Reduction Week we posted this picture of a nifty plastic bag dryer. Paul Knipe a Mount Baker teacher saw the potential for an ideal project between his students and the residents of the Green Home. As a result, with donated offcuts of wood and enthusiastic participants a hundred plastic bag dryers have been made and presold. Community, sustainability, integration of all ages .... some fun and satisfaction – what a great project!

    Hats off to Paul Knipe for initiating this project. How wonderful to create an opportunity for teens and seniors to interact and work together. Impressive.
