Dear Teachers,
 * RECYCLING SURVEY**

Thank you for participating in the NYC school recycling survey. There have been over 230 responses from all 5 boroughs so far which is great because there are 1500 public schools in NYC. The results therefor are already statistically significant. Still it would be great to hear from more schools to give them a chance to be a part of the recycling conversation. Please forward the survey to teachers that you know at other schools. []

I plan to publish the results after Thanksgiving. Have a terrific Thanksgiving holiday. If you have further comments or questions please let me know.

Sincerely, Matt Malina [|NewYorkCityH2O.org]
