SAVE (Students Against Violating the Earth) at Souderton School District
SAVE is coordinating with the Daughters of the American Revolution Group to start a plastic bottle cap recycling
program with the Aveda Company. Bottle caps will be collected and made into shampoo and other hair product
containers. This is a great addition to SAVE’s current bottle collection as the caps are not wanted by the company.
In March SAVE plans on hosting a Student Conference for high school students from across the region. They plan
on having lunch together and then will take part in a series of workshops aimed at forging relationships that can help
the organization’s network in the future.
