free to pass this email on to others who might be interested in helping out.

Below is the call for Volunteers for the "Green Team".  There will be 12 
recycling stations at various locations around the Arts Fest.  We will need 
12 volunteers for each 2 hour shifts on Fri & Sat . June 6-7.

Please remember that all volunteers need to sign up using our online 
volunteer application (located at www.summerofthearts.org ) so that we can 
have their contact information, as well as what size of FREE t-shirt they 
will need.

Enjoy the Summer by Going Green!
Have a great day!

Summer of the Arts is going green and you can help by being one of our 
Volunteers that help to implement this exciting new program!

Beginning with the Iowa Arts Festival June 6-8, 2008, ALL of our food 
vendors on “Culinary Row” are using biodegradable and compostable food ware 
and we need your help as a GREEN TEAM Volunteer to help those attending our 
festival recycle the items correctly.

Here’s what you can do:
	Become one of our Green Team Volunteers who will wear our special FREE 
green volunteer t-shirt and will be positioned near each recycling station 
to help make the recycling process easy for everyone!
	Make sure people throw their compostable plates, bowls, forks and cups 
(with leftovers and all) into the containers marked for compostable items 
located throughout the festival.
	If people have any questions about whether their food container is 
compostable they will be able to ask one of our Green Team Volunteers.
	We also offer recycling for soda cans and plastic bottles!

How will composting make a difference?
In 2007 nearly 3 tons of garbage from the Iowa Arts Festival and 
Toyota-Scion of Iowa City Jazz Festival ended up in the landfills
	Our goal for 2008 is to cut our garbage waste by 75% through our 
composting efforts.
	All of the compost will be used to make fertile soil to support a 
healthier local environment.
	You can purchase composted soil at the Johnson County Landfill to use in 
your garden at home!

To Volunteer for the Green Team, or any other position please visit our 
Summer of the Arts website at www.summerofthearts.org and click on the 
Volunteer Now button.  From there you can click on our volunteer online 
button, to fill out and submit the online volunteer application.  A staff

for a specific shift/position.
Thank you for helping us GO GREEN!
