Last month, “06880” reported that Staples’ Club Green was going for gold in CL&P’s “Live Green Win Green” competition.
They earned a silver — but it’s worth $5,000, as 1 of the top state finalists.
The club will use the funds to sponsor the 2nd annual EcoFest on May 22. Some of the prize money will also go to pursuing other environmental initiatives throughout Staples and Westport.
A tip o’ the green and silver hat to all club members, and advisor Michael Aitkenhead!
