Kids get creative with RJ canvas bags

Look at home much fun these kids are having decorating our Recycling Jackson canvas bags.

Mary Tallman, our education/outreach coordinator, takes the bags when she visits local elementary students. As you can see, the bags are a hit.



The bags are reusable, so the students will get some mileage out of them - and help spread the good word.

Meet our new Education & Outreach Coordinator

Recycling Jackson is proud to announce its new Education and Outreach Coordinator, Mary Tallman.

Mary is a native Jacksonian who graduated from the University of Michigan with a fine arts degree in painting and drawing, and earned a master of arts in education from Spring Arbor University.  

Currently, she serves as Title I parent liaison for Jackson Arts and Technology Academy.  Her work as educator for Recycling Jackson is a natural extension of her current and past work in Jackson area schools.

She and her husband Jim credit their three sons for educating them on the benefits of recycling and the necessity of strong advocacy and  good resource stewardship.  

Both Mary and her husband enjoy boating and kayaking on Browns Lake and are active in the Browns Lake Residents Association.

If your school or organization is interested in having Mary speak about the benefits of recycling, e-mail her at recyclingjackson [at] yahoo.com.
