Help RAIR!

One of our bloggers, Fern, is the Co-Founder of RAIR - Recycled Artists In Residency. RAIR is a group of dedicated individuals working to connect art and sustainability in Philadelphia. They provide artists with salvaged materials and comfortable workspace while increasing awareness about the waste stream.

For more information on RAIR, visit the website, find them on facebook, or watch this great video to see the kind of work that can be made with recycled materials.

Right now, we are asking you to go to the Pepsi Refresh website and vote for RAIR. If RAIR is ranked #1, they will be awarded $50,000 which would help them progress and expand RAIR to it's full potential. You can see on the Pepsi Refresh website how the money will help the organization. You can vote for the project every day during the month of August.

You can vote online through the Pepsi Refresh site or facebook: go to http://www.refresheverything.com/rairphilly and click "Vote for this Idea." It will bring you to a screen where you can sign-in through the Pepsi site or with facebook.

Or, you can vote by Text: Text 101584 to Pepsi (73774) (*standard messaging rates apply!)
