Those pesky lawn signs
Here’s a timely tip from my friend Jim Gerweck, Editor-at-Large for Running Times:
I sent about 20+ corrugated plastic lawn signs left over from the elections here down to Matt Sonnenborn in Naples, FL where he directs the Thanksgiving run for the symphony (where he plays 1st trumpet).
Last year he used them as “stackers” for cups at the water stations.
This year he went one better – took them to a local sign guy who “skinned” them then put new lettering on top.
He’s big on making his race as green as possible, so this is good from that aspect, too.
With primary season just around the corner, methinks there will be a lot of corplast looking for a second life …
Hmmm, I wonder how many environmentally aware pols will use bioboard instead of corplast?
