East Windsor Township Mayor Janice S. Mironov recognized the elementary school winners of the Township Earth Day Recycling Poster Contest. The theme of the poster is to promote any or all of the “4 R’s” of the Township Recycling Program Logo, which are:

• RECYCLE all items that can be recycled.

• REUSE other items rather than throw them out in the trash.

• REDUCE materials into their homes that then have to be disposed of.

• REBUY - i.e., buy goods that use recycled materials.

Winners from Grades K - 2 and Grades 3 - 5 all received Mayoral Certificates of Recognition and gift certificates to Barnes and Noble, donated by corporate sponsor Shiseido America.

Mayor Mironov congratulated all of the students stating, “we are very proud of the students who participated in the Township Earth Day Recycling Poster Contest. Their participation demonstrates an interest at a very young age in our environment and an important tool for supporting a greener environment. The posters designed by the students creatively and colorfully serve to remind everyone of the importance of practicing recycling to help protect and preserve our environment. All of the stud ents showed great interest in recycling and did an outstanding job.”
