Called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trex.com\/recycling\/recycling-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">From Bags to Benches<\/a>, Trex promises a composite bench to any group that meets their challenge in a six-month period. Asbury Solomons completed it in four months, gathering more than 40,500 bags!<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Go Green Committee gets credit for expanding the community\u2019s recycling efforts to such a degree that Asbury Solomons earned the Maryland Recycling Network\u2019s Outstanding Environmental and Community Leadership Award in 2016. In one year, approximately 175 tons of materials were recycled rather than sent to a landfill.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Go Green Committee\u2019s efforts, Earth Day at Asbury Solomons has become a monthly series of events and lectures. Our annual celebration opens the community to students and other groups to highlight and promote the importance of environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                \n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <script src=\"https:\/\/www.asbury.org\/asbury-solomons\/wp-content\/themes\/fountainsl\/blocks\/basictext\/script.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\r\n        \r\n        <!-- END: FountainSL\/Block: acf\/basictext -->\r\n        \n\n\r\n        <!-- START: FountainSL\/Block: acf\/ctablock -->\r\n        <div class=\"ftn-block ctablock\" style=\"\">\r\n            \n\n\n\n\n<div class='ctablock-6a5039ff27328 container-full' style=\"padding-top: px; padding-bottom: px; margin: 0 auto; width: 100%; overflow: hidden;background-color: rgb(17,55,100);\">\n    <div class=\"blockcontainer container\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"col-12 maincopy\" style=\"text-align: \">\n                <h2 class='header'>Visit Our Events Page<\/h2>\n\n\n                \n\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asbury.org\/asbury-solomons\/resources\/events\/\" class=\"cta-base \" \n  target=\"_self\">Learn More<\/a>            <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        <\/div>\n\n        <script src=\"https:\/\/www.asbury.org\/asbury-solomons\/wp-content\/themes\/fountainsl\/blocks\/ctablock\/script.js\"><\/script>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <!-- END: FountainSL\/Block: acf\/ctablock -->\r\n        \n\n\r\n        <!-- START: FountainSL\/Block: acf\/imageandform -->\r\n        \r\n            \n\n<div class='imageandform' style=\"margin: 0 auto; width: 100%; overflow: hidden;background-color: rgb(239,244,243);\">\n\n    <div class=\"grid\">\n        <div class=\"col-sm-6 imageLeft\" style='background-image: url(\"https:\/\/www.asbury.org\/asbury-solomons\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/Solomons-Oct2023-363-1.jpg\"); background-size:cover'>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-sm-6 maincopy\">\n            <div class=\"colright\">\n                                <div class=\"loading\" data-further-swfid=\"7280144e-e85d-4b91-85ab-c6fc3ec0e283\" data-further-cid=\"146642\"><\/div>            <\/div>\n            <script src=\"https:\/\/www.asbury.org\/asbury-solomons\/wp-content\/themes\/fountainsl\/blocks\/imageandform\/script.js\">\n            <\/script>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n        \r\n        <!-- END: FountainSL\/Block: acf\/imageandform -->\r\n        ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1078,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1244","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Go Green Committee | Asbury Solomons<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover environmental stewardship at Asbury Solomons.
