Planet Action Club Saves Smithtown Landfills While Supporting the Drilling of a Clean Water Well in Mbulu




Did you know that per gallon, bottled water costs more than gas? Have you grabbed a drink on the run and felt guilty? Make sure your bottle is made with less-clogged landfills in mind. Brands like Poland Spring, Arrowhead and Fiji are now making bottles with up to 30% less wasteful plastic -- you can be filled with water rather than guilt.

The 'Plant Action' Club of the Great Hollow Middle School knows all about the consequences of drinking bottled water. Their response was to initiate a program of selling 'Klean Kanteens.' The reusable, lightweight, and risk free stainless steel Klean Kanteen™ encourages better health, hydration, and environmental responsibility.

The club sponsored a district-wide initiative under the mentorship of Mrs. Harriet Pasca-Ortgies. We are waiting to hear the final total gained after shipping, etc. The Club earned $450 dollars for our clean water well.
