Two of Senior Community Services’ centers – Plymouth Creek Center and Minnetonka Senior Center – have educated over 618 elders and 150 youth through seven intergenerational classes and workshops on alternative gift wrap, junk mail removal, non-toxic cleaning and reduced packaging. Over 159 junk mail envelopes have been mailed, 200 non-toxic cleaners distributed, and 60 reusable cloth shopping bags given out. The directors also shared their project with other senior center directors through their common agency, United Way.  Both senior centers plan to continue their waste reduction education and activities including hosting future speakers on recycling and non-toxic cleaners, making recipes available to seniors, and offering recycling and composting at all events.
