Environmental Commitment

Maine Cancer Foundation would like to do what is within its power to make Tri for a Cure as “green” as possible. Registration is paperless, and at our event you will find the following:

• Recycling bins for returnables, such as plastic bottles, cans and glass bottles.
• Recycling bins for other recyclable products like paper, cardboard, metal, etc.
• Designated and clearly marked waste containers for compost material such as banana peels, orange rinds, coffee grounds, etc.

You can help make this a “green” event by doing the following:

• Properly using any recycling containers located at the venue.
• Bringing water and other drinks in plastic bottles made with recyclable materials (ie. Nalgene).
• Reuse your goody bag as a lunch sack or a grocery bag.
• Donate your shoes to local running stores such as Maine Running Company and Nike who will take your old running shoes and grind them up for rubber to reuse in new products like basketball courts. One online group, One World Running, takes the sneakers you have outgrown and ships them to people in Africa that don’t have shoes.
