Making Your Build Day Green Oct. 1, 2008 (3:00-4:00 p.m. EST)Here at KaBOOM! we believe a successful Build Day couples volunteer enthusiasm with a steadfast commitment to eco-friendliness. There are a number of ways that you can employ the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) as you prepare for your upcoming Build Day. In this webinar, you will hear some ideas on how to reduce food waste, recycle equipment packaging, and reuse Build Day tools, in addition to ideas for making a greener play environment! Join us as we learn how to care for the greatest of all playspaces – our natural environment.
Why Play Matters Oct. 7, 2008 (4:30-5:30 p.m. EST)Would you like to become a better advocate for play?
