Welcome Girl Scouts
I’m thrilled to welcome Girl Scouts of the USA to our project! According to their mission, “Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.” By helping save trees, water, energy, and our climate when canceling catalogs, they are definitely helping make our world a better place because they are saving natural resources and slowing global warming.
Scroll down to watch some of our videos and to read success stories. To start a “Catalog Canceling Challenge” with your troop, visit our “Join the Catalog Canceling Challenge” page. It’s pretty simple, just cancel as many unwanted sales catalogs as you can! Let’s see which troop can cancel the most catalogs! Be sure to email in your results after 30 days - the number of catalogs canceled, number of Girl Scouts, Troop Number, location, and a photo of your pile - to tedwellscatablog@gmail.com.
Troop leader Marni Suliin reports that six Girl Scouts from Troop 315 in Iron River, Michigan (above) put a box in their school to collect catalogs for one week. Then they canceled the 150 catalogs in only two hours using www.CatalogChoice.org! Great work Troop 315!
Check out our results page, we’ve canceled 9,000 catalogs saving 120 trees and 100,000 gallons of water! We’ve prevented the emissions of 13,000 pounds of CO2 which is equal to taking over four cars off the road.
And be sure to view my 4th grade class video.
