Dear North Valley Coalition,

Hi! I am a student from Middlebrook School in Wilton, CT. We recently finished a project entitled, "Project Green Earth." Our team, "The 7 Green Gators," was split up into groups of four or five students of mixed gender. Each group researched and presented information about a problem that is hurting the environment. My group was assigned to research toxic chemicals and hazardous wastes. We learned what causes this problem and ways that it has tried to be stopped. We also learned about major waste areas around the world and especially in the USA. Our job was also to find solutions to our problem. After having a successful report and presentation, I found your website. I read how out in California you are also trying to put a stop to hazardous wastes and chemicals. California is a good place to have based your company for it is highly residential, has several large cities, and contains many landfills and dumps. This is why you have been selected to receive a donation.

Earlier in the year my team (7G) did a fundraiser. We sold t-shirts in order to raise money to help save the environment. Once we finished this project, everyone on the team voted for an organization to which we could donate a portion of our fundraiser money. After watching our presentation and having read a brief description about your organization, students selected your coalition with the most number of votes. We are pleased to be able to donate $350.00 dollars to your organization. Students and teachers on the 7G team care about the environment and want to make sure that everything possible is being done to protect our planet and save animals and habitats around the world. We thank you for being open to accept our donation. We all know it will go towards a good cause and hopefully be able to help you make a difference in our world.
