3 Step Directions
Set up a “small and simple” Catalog Canceling Challenge in a classroom or with a Girl Scout troop. These steps will ensure a successful, fun project!
1 - Bring your group together and watch the helpful introductory slide show and snazzy movies.
2 - Cancel catalogs by phone calling the 1-800 numbers on the back of each unwanted catalog. (Or you can use GreenDimes.com or CatalogChoice.org).
3 - Try to fill up a box with 200-300 canceled catalogs in 30 days! Remember to send in photos of piles to tedwellscatablog@gmail.com. Include group name, location, number of catalogs canceled, and number of children participating.
Lindsay Sheperd - a 2nd grade teacher in Winston-Salem, North Carolina - writes, “This is a fabulous project that can reach across the curriculum to teach environmental issues, responsibility and citizenship, and math. Our 2nd grade class at St. Leo School canceled 625 catalogs. I am proud of the initiative and motivation my 28 2nd graders had in tackling this project.”
