Home My WebLink About12 Trashion Show Agenda Item # 12 TRUCKEE .O WORKSHOP To: Board of Directors From: Steven Poncelet Date: April 07, 2010 Subject: Update on the "Trashion Show" Assemblies and the Green Challenge 1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD The Board plays a critical role in the success of the District's conservation programs by providing feedback on existing programs and direction for future programs. 2. HISTORY Staff presented a workshop on the FY10 conservation programs at the February 3, 2010 Board meeting which included two important new programs for the District: 2010 Green Schools and Truckee Green Challenge. The Green Schools program is a collaborative effort between the District, Tahoe Truckee Unified School District (TTUSD), and the Sierra Watershed Education Partnership/Truckee High School Envirolution Club to hand out a free conservation kit to almost 1,800 children and TTUSD staff who live in the District. This program also has a significant education component including promotion of the many District programs to save energy/water and save money. The Truckee Green Challenge is a collaborative effort between the District and the Sierra Sun and is a web-based conservation competition with prizes for business, residences, and schools (elementary, middle, and high-school). 3. NEW INFORMATION The main vehicle in the Green Schools program for distribution of the conservation kits and for educating the community about our conservation programs was a series of Trashion Show general assembly's at Donner Trails, Glenshire Elementary, Truckee Elementary, and Alder Creek Middle School. At each of these events, attended by all students and staff, the Truckee High School Envirolution Club members modeled self- created fashion made out of trash and recycled materials. Each costume and skit included an environmental message and integrated into the skits was a description of the conservation measures included in the District conservation kits and an invitation to participate in the Truckee Green Challenge. The members of the Truckee High School Envirolution Club delivered the message with great innovation and courage. They should be commended for their leadership and willingness to champion the message of the District to `save energy/water and save money'. The Trashion Shows are all complete and the response has been overwhelmingly positive from the children, school staff, and the parents who have spent hours with their children installing the many energy and water savings measures provided in the conservation kits. The Conservation Department has received calls and a-mails praising the program and has heard from numerous staff members who have been approached by District customers about the program. The Sierra Sun has run a front- page article covering the Trashion Shows titled `It's in the bag' which recognizes the students achievements and documenting the impact of the District's conservation kits. The response from TTUSD administration and staff has been equally positive. Most important, this program distributed almost 20,000 CFL's, over 3,000 LED night lights, and thousands of other energy and water savings measures in a short period with very low costs and significant impact. The value of high school student leaders educating their younger peers cannot be measured. 4. FISCAL IMPACT Funding for the Green Schools program and the Truckee Green Challenge are included in the FY10 budget. There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this workshop item. 5. RECOMMENDATION Receive this report and provide comment and direction. Consider directing staff to bring back to the Board a resolution commending the members of the Truckee High School Envirolution Club for their leadership in educating our community on the benefits of conservation and striving for a sustainable future.
