Hey [[Email]] !
It's almost summer and we hope your Club plans to stay active through the sunshine-filled months. What better way to use that extra free time than taking action in your community?
We have lots of exciting campaigns coming up including Do Something 101. After a successful day of collecting school supplies, you can head over to Baskin Robbins for some free ice cream.
Make sure you post your Spring projects by June 30th to maintain your status as an active Do Something club and continue to receive free stuff in the mail!

Do Something 101
Back to school is a really hard time for kids in need. School supplies are pricey. So, Do Something about it.
We've teamed up with Staples for another year of Do Something 101. Start a school supply drive with your club this summer. Collect new school supplies and drop them off at any Staples store. We'll make sure they get in the hands of kids in your community who need them by September.
Ciara supports Do Something 101. Check out her PSA and learn how you can get involved at www.dosomething101.org

Small changes = huge difference
-
The average American household dumps 26,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide into the air every year. Replacing just 6 incandescent bulbs in your house will cut your yearly carbon emissions by 600 lbs.
-
If every American skipped one meal of chicken a week and ate vegetarian instead, the carbon dioxide savings would be the same as taking more than half a million cars off of U.S. roads.
