Nextrex Challenge - Win a bench

Ashram has signed up for the NexTrex challenge where we as a community will collect plastic wraps and films that can't be recycled in the curbside recycling in our communities. If we can collect 500lbs in a 6 month span, Ashram will earn a bench made of the recycled materials! We request everyone coming to the Ashram to remember and bring these everyday items that we throw in the trash to the Ashram and put it in the NexTrex bin in the back patio right behind the door! Please make sure that you only bring in the acceptable items from the list below!

Reusable CutleryAs you all know we serve lunch to nearly 200 people every Sunday after language class. All the plastic cutlery ends up in the landfill. To avoid this, we have purchased stainless steel cutlery which we have to now be careful not to throw in the trash and reuse it. We invite parents to support the one time costs of these by donating upto 5$ if you are interested. We also invite high school children to volunteer their time to wash these after every session. Please contact the Lunch coordinators for more information.
