Exeter Girl Scouts celebrated earth day on Tuesday, April 20th
by picking up trash on their walk from school to the recycling trailer.
At the recycling trailer the troop had a presentation from
Joyce Votipka who was instrumental in writing the grant for the village to
receive the trailer.
Votipka taught the girls how to find the recycling symbol on
plastics and along with explaining which items are accepted at the trailer.
Not only did Votipka encourage the girls to recycle, she
explained the concept of reusing and reducing and read them a book to emphasize
the theory. To follow that concept the girls made bird feeders using
recycled plastic bottles to take home.
Votipka also gave each girl a daylily to plant at home.
When the ground dries out the girls will be planting flowers
in the park downtown.

recycled plastic bottles. They are pictured from the left Kaylie
Schlueter, Scout Grummons, Sydney Engert and Brooklyn Oldehoeft.
