Sam Honey, SVYSA President, presents a check to Todd Kneeland and his son Kristopher.  Todd and Kristopher developed and implemented a new recycling program for all Sonoma Soccer games and Tournaments for the 2008 regular season.  In doing so, they raised money which they shared with the Soccer club.  The club then donated it’s share back to Todd and Kristopher to help pay their start-up expenses.  How much was collected?  So far, here is the tally:  Aluminum, 52 lbs; Glass, 127 lbs; Plastic, 504 lbs.
An interesting note:  Todd and Kristopher had to remove screw top caps from all bottles, separate them, and empty large quantities of liquid before taking them to the local Safeway recycle center.  This represents a very labor intensive commitment on their part, not to mention the wasted liquid dumped.

Todd and Kristopher hope to spread their message of recycling throughout the Sonoma community, with a special focus on teaching children about the value of this practice by using a fun method called “recycle your weight”.  For more information, please contact info@sonomasoccer.org.
