Madisonville kids receive the visit of The Wartville Wizard

This past Tuesday January 12th Keep Cincinnati Beautiful brought its litter prevention show "The Wartville Wizard" to John P. Parker Elementary in Madisonville. Now on its 7th season, this play tells the story of a Wizard and its efforts to clean up his town. High School students from Clark Montessori perform under the direction of Kate Wilford. Every first Tuesday of the month, these High School actors drive a bus and visit an average of three schools. After the play, attended this week by 80 students from first to fourth grade, a local police officer turned kids into "agents of change". Every kid pledged to "keep Cincinnati beautiful" and received a "badge" that entitles him/her to keep their neighborhoods free of litter.

If you would like to have "The Wizard" coming to your school, email us by clicking here OR call us at 352-4387.

* We would like to thank The Dater Foundation and LaRosa's for their support. We could not make it without you!

Whole Foods Succesful e-cycling event!

This past Saturday Jan. 9th Whole Foods put together an electronic recycling event at its Rockwood Commons store. From 10:00am to 3:00pm local residents dropped their old scanners, computers, laptops, stereos, speakers, monitors and more. This kind of "trash" harms the environment and citizens due to the heavy metals they contain. Whole Foods has hired an expert team to disassemble this electronics, scrub hard disks included, and reuse the materials.

KCB would like to congratulate Whole Foods for this amazing effort. Everybody will benefit from this event.

If you miss it, they will be having it again in April. Make sure to visit their facebook page for updates.
