Congratulations to Zahra Pike (Class 70) who is now the second Officially Certified Master Recycler from the Trash for Peace Master Recycler Community Designed Class! For Zahra's volunteer hours, she partnered with Metro Healthy Homes to offer a six week series in to Homeforward communities on household cleaners and body care products. She created flyers, set up the program, identified supplies and co presented with Metro. People got to learn about the importance of toxics free options and then make green alternatives. The lip balm for valentines was especially a hit!

Thank you for your enthusiasm and creativity, Zahra!
