Registration Information

My husband and I have four active kids and at one point or another our entire family has been

involved in Carol Stream Park District activities and volunteering has just always been second nature. I grew up with parents that volunteered and I look at volunteering as a part of being a parent. I volunteer at every school and sport our kids are involved in and at our church. People may think I’m a giver, but the truth is I’m the one receiving the gift by volunteering. I have made life long friends through volunteering and had a lot of fun along the way.

Transform newspapers to logsRecycle old newspapers by making rolled paper logs for your fireplace. Roll newspaper sheets into a log shape, then soak them in water. Dry the log overnight and use like ordinary wood.

Earth Flag Awarded to Park DistrictThe Carol Stream Park District was awarded the Earth Flag in September in recognition of its earth-friendly practices.

To achieve the Earth Flag certification the park district had to pass an environmental audit by the SCARCE organization and implement several new green initiatives. These included adding over 100 new recycling bins to the parks, creating new policies to reduce paper, energy and fuel use, and increasing the number of nature and green-based activities for residents.

Registration Information

My husband and I have four active kids and at one point or another our entire family has been

involved in Carol Stream Park District activities and volunteering has just always been second nature. I grew up with parents that volunteered and I look at volunteering as a part of being a parent. I volunteer at every school and sport our kids are involved in and at our church. People may think I’m a giver, but the truth is I’m the one receiving the gift by volunteering. I have made life long friends through volunteering and had a lot of fun along the way.

E-cycle your electronicsGot a new gadget on your holiday wishlist? Don’t junk your old electronics, take them to an electronic recycling center. Visit scarceecoed.org to find local electronic recycling centers.

Transform newspapers to logsRecycle old newspapers by making rolled paper logs for your fireplace. Roll newspaper sheets into a log shape, then soak them in water. Dry the log overnight and use like ordinary wood.

Check your ductsMaximize the efficiency of your heating system by checking your ductwork for leaks. Sealing leaks with duct mastic will stop hot air escaping before it reaches your vents.
