Overview of Idea

We will create stop motion animation and flip books, which show the FLIP-TAP-STACK procedure to NYC public school students and staff. We pilot this alternative form of messaging in individual schools, collect data from each school on the amount of garbage bags reduced per day, then share results!

idea specifics: what will the $500 fund?

NYC’s public schools throw “away” 850,000 styrofoam trays per day (except for Tuesdays) . CafCu) is leading an Alternative Messaging Campaign to publicize the shocking statistics of NYC school cafeteria generated garbage and to create innovative ways of engaging and inspiring the public school community to take action to reduce their cafeteria trash.
By FLIP-TAP-STACK-ing all NYC lunch trays, public school students can divert 1 million plastic garbage bags from going to landfills each year and save NYC more than $300,000 per year!
Funding will support the creation of the animation and flip books in order for us to pilot this engaging way of communicating change of habit in several NYC schools.
