Daystar Recycling , Naef Recycling & Solvay Paperboard
Announce Their Support for School City Wide "Go Green" Efforts


Syracuse, NY - The Go Green Initiative (GGI)  -  a grassroots 
environmental program that unites parents, teachers and students to 
create a culture of conservation in schools  started in Syracuse when 
Ed Smith Elementary School became the first school to sign up in New 
York State.

"Interest in this project is growing,"  says, Mark Naef, CEO of Naef 
Recycling. "At a time when there is growing interest in energy 
conservation from  city officials and non  fossil fuel energy such as 
wind power by consumers  renewed interest in recycling makes perfect sense."

There are approximately 39  schools in the city. To help spread the 
"Go Green" message Daystar Recycling and Solvay paperboard are 
joining forces with Naef Recycling to contribute financial and 
technical support to city schools. They hope to get the whole 
Syracuse city school district on board by Earth Day, April 22 as well 
as attract more sponsors to the project.

Daystar organizer, Chelle Naef who helped start the program in 
Syracuse at Ed Smith said, "Daystar will devote a minimum of 8 hours 
a week and contribute $1000 toward the GGI program.  This will help 
cover printing costs and other needs to help get schools on board 
with this dynamic program.  Daystar Recycling Corp. is committed to 
the GGI and to helping create a more environmentally sound community 
for our children and their families in Syracuse and NYS."

Solvay Paperboard will donate 8 hours a week plus buy tee shirts for 
participating schools and help secure additional sponsorships.

Naef Recycling will donate time of its CEO to help organize the 
project and the services of an organizer, Jennifer Spoor hired by 
Naef Recycling for 16 hours a week to coordinate the Go Green efforts 
in the city and will fully sponsor the first 5 schools to sign up.

The Go Green Initiative is being promoted in  NY State through 
the  efforts of the NY State Association of Reduction, Reuse and 
Recycling. (NYSARRR) For recycling information for school 
administrators, teachers and students visit the NYSARRR web site at

Green Initiative  visit the Naef Recycling web 
site  http://www.naefrecycling.com where reports from local schools 
involved with this project are posted.

The Go Green Initiative involves students at every level and takes a 
comprehensive approach to help schools evaluate every aspect of their 
environmental impact. It provides schools simple checklists and tools 
to examine everything from recycling to unsafe pesticides used on 
playgrounds. For more information visit http://www.gogreeninitiative.org
