Styrofoam)
invite the city to talk about recycling program
invite a local company that makes toothbrushes, plates and flatware from
recycled plastic

Dear colleagues,
The city municipality of Haifa turned to us in a request to suggest a
program for the soon coming Earth Day. They stress they don't want to
"recycle" old ideas that have been exhausted in the past, like turning
off electric appliances and such, rather they want a new attractive idea
that will appeal to the media as well as the citizens.
We thus are turning to you to enrich our bank of ideas.
Best
Tal
