Girl Scouts (Bellingham, WA): Girl Scouts of Western Washington Goes Greener!

Girl Scouts (Bellingham, WA): Girl Scouts of Western Washington Goes Greener!
Posted June 7, 2010 by Neil

Girl Scouts in Western Washington care about the environment! Girls across our council are making a noticeable difference reducing the impact they have on the world around them, using their resources wisely and recycling whenever possible.

Even better, they’re helping educate others about the importance of all those things, doing their part to help make the world a better place!

We thought it was time to share some of the great projects girls are working on – not just on Earth Day, but every day!

Junior Girl Scout Troop 50008 from Bellingham assisted the Bellingham Gluten Intolerance group in keeping their annual Community Awareness event a zero waste one. This meant they helped to recycle and compost everything they could, and reduce the amount of trash that was sent to the landfill.

They also did a service project with Project Porchlight, an energy efficiency program that encourages people to switch from old fashioned incandescent light bulbs to new energy efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. Volunteers deliver free CFL bulbs at community events, as well as door-to-door.
