This was the second year that Green Guru participated in the Recycled Materials Fair and the amount of response that was generated by the student body was really extraordinary. Green Guru was glad to donate a stylish billboard series tote that was given out as a door prize to one lucky student. The fair was a huge success with artists, vendors, and volunteers all coming together to spread good vibes and share dialog and products geared towards sustainability.

The campus community was really eager to talk about recycling and sustainability. We had the opportunity to talk to and make friends with a lot of really conscious people striving to make a difference in their own communities in their own individual ways.

In other good news we also made an on campus contact with CU's bike station. All of us at Green Guru were glad to hear that the bike station already had a recycling program for their blown-out bike inner tubes. However, the bike station was really excited when they found out that we were starting a national inner-tube recycling program, the first one of its kind in the country, and they wanted to participate. That means a large portion of our blowout series is now made with inner tubes straight from the CU campus population. This also means that the bike station is reducing its carbon output by recycling locally and conserving the fuel and shipping costs incurred by sending their inner tubes out of state. A definite win-win situation for the community and everyone involved. We are all looking forward to participating in the fair next year.
