These two community centers serving senior citizens in the Western suburbs created an on-going program called “Make a Difference.” They both held four educational programs for seniors on waste reduction topics: toxicity reduction, junk mail reduction, low-waste holidays, and composting. 288 people attended the events and many took waste reduction actions as a result. The SouthShore Center plans to make the re-gift holiday event for adults and youth that they piloted through this project an annual event. The “Green Spot” was a new page in the centers’ newsletters featuring waste reduction tips, reaching over 1500 people. The centers also produced a cable television show focused on waste reduction and the Green Guardian, and also promoted the projects in local newspapers.
