Help Stop Hunger Now...

Soup Can It is hard to believe that 30% of all Americans go hungry every day. What is the picture like in our own community? In May 2008, the Penndel Food Pantry served over 2000 individuals. With the bleak economic picture across the country, it is important for those who can to help. The economy is tough for everyone. With a small contribution you could feed a family their only meal of the day. During the holiday season there are many well publicized food drives but as we continue through the rest of the year it is easy to lose sight of the continued need for food.

Help the hungry in our community by dropping off your food donations at the Middletown Municipal Center, 3 Municipal Way in Langhorne Monday through Friday between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm. This is an ongoing program; donations will be accepted each work day, year round. Any type of non-perishable food item will be accepted at any time. So, next time you are at the grocery store, pick up a few extra cans of hearty, wholesome soup, canned vegetables or fruits and drop them off at the bins located in the Lobby of the Municipal Center. All donations will be delivered to local food pantries for distribution.

Kudos for the Make the Switch Campaign

The Middletown Township Parks and Recreation Department was recently honored by the Pennsylvania Recreation and Park Society (PRPS) for their innovative “Make the Switch – From Bottled Water to Water Bottles” campaign created by Community Outreach Coordinator, Terry Field. The article and photograph below recently appeared in Vol. 40 Number 4 of Pennsylvania Recreation magazine, published by PRPS.

Rcreation Dept. Staff

The Make the Switch campaign was designed to encourage people to start using reusable water bottles as an effort to reduce the amount of trash going into landfills. Additionally, the campaign targeted methods to reduce the amount of litter found in community parks and along roadsides. The campaign provided reasons to change behaviors, group support, and rewards for participation. The campaign employed a multi-media approach including an article in the Township’s program guide; free reusable water bottles featuring the “Make the Switch” program logo; a pledge of participation; a drawing to win one of the 50 name brand water bottles; a website article; a slide on cable TV channels; an FAQ document for distribution at community events; signs in the parks and a “Make the Switch” themed Christmas tree for the municipal center. Results included a reduction in litter and an associated increase in use of recycling containers. In addition to more giveaways and further endorsement at events, the Township plans include installation of park water fountains to further promote refilling reusable containers.

Make the Switch

Reuasable Waterbottle Bottled water; the mainstay of the soccer sidelines, walking trails and school lunch bags. Do you really know what it costs? For as much as $2.50 a liter, or $10 per gallon, bottled water costs more than gasoline. For one household serviced by Bucks County Water & Sewer Authority the cost of water is $.0059 per gallon. And it is not just the cost to the family budget…

The Container Recycling Institute estimates that 86% of the disposable plastic water bottles do not get recycled but end up in the landfills or littered along our roads and in community parks. The problem is growing for the environment and the landfills. In 1995, the amount of PET (the plastic used to make water bottles) in landfills was 1,175 million pounds. By 2005, this tripled to 3,900 million pounds; almost 2 million tons. And it is not just the cost to the landfills and the parks…

Fossil fuels are used to manufacture water bottles. According to the Earth Policy Institute in 2006, making bottles to meet America's demand for bottled water requires more than 17 million barrels of oil annually - enough to fuel 1 million US cars for a year! The Natural Resources Defense Council reports that the release of greenhouse gases in the manufacturing, transporting and disposing of plastic water bottles contributes to global warming and is filling the nation's landfills.

Each person and each family can help solve this problem. Simply cut down on your use of bottled water and always recycle the bottles when bottled water is your only option. This fall, the Parks & Recreation Department will be adding recycle containers to the parks. Please use them. In 2009, water fountains will be installed in locations where they can be protected from vandals. Park users are encouraged to bring refillable water bottles from home. For a little less convenience, you can save money, oil and the environment.
