www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday August 22, 2008 - 9 Contest launched to name Halton's recycling frog mascots Halton Region has launched "Name the Blue Box and GreenCart frogs" contest to celebrate Halton's waste diversion programs, including both the Blue Box and GreenCart programs. Children 12 years of age and under who live in Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton or Oakville are invited to submit their chosen name for both frogs online by visiting www.halton.ca. "Since the launch of weekly Blue Box and GreenCart collection in April, Halton Region has been using the blue and green frogs as its waste management mascots," Entry deadline set for Sept. 22 said Halton's Regional Chair, Gary Carr. "Both the Blue Box and GreenCart frogs have been extremely well received by residents, and we're now asking for help from Halton children to name each of them." Winning entrants will receive a prize package for their creative Blue Box and GreenCart frog names, be formally recognized at the GreenCart celebration event planned during Waste Reduction Week in October and have their picture sent to the local newspapers. Entries will be judged on overall suitability of the name suggestion, originality and creativity by a panel of staff from Halton's Waste Management Services and Community Relations Divisions. "Halton Region selected the frog as the Blue Box and GreenCart mascot because they are often the first creatures to respond to environmental quality and change," added Carr. "The changes to the waste collection program were designed to help protect the environment, extend the life of the landfill site and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality all for a better planet." Submissions to the "Name the Blue Box and GreenCart frogs" contest are due no later than 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 22. More information on the contest can be found by visiting www.halton.ca or by calling Halton Region at 905-825-6000, toll free 1-866-442-5866, TTY 905-827-9833.
