special E: just about the coolest thing, ever
there’s no more excuses.
after discovering this organization–via karen hillburn at great performances–you have no more excuses to not recycle, compost or care!
special E really is saving the planet one event at a time.
this awesome new “green” service rescues leftovers from meetings, conferences, trade shows, banquets, parties, weddings, special events–whatever basically, then recycles them in ways that help our planet & people in need.
i told you it was the coolest thing ever!
they will rescue leftover food & deliver it to food banks, soup kitchens, & emergency shelters, wherever there are hungry & homeless. buffet leftovers that cannot be given to organizations for giveaway, are normally thrown out, but special E gathers it up for compost.
but that’s far from all they do.
beverages will also leave behind a trail that can be put to good use. empty cans are recycled & proceeds purchase cans of food for abused & abandoned pets. it keeps getting better right?
they even rescue leftover remnants of beverage containers such as bottle caps & wine bottle corks to re-purpose them into jewelry/decorative products. proceeds from the sale of these goods is used to buy beverages for children that are thirsty or don’t have access to a safe supply of drinking water!
floral arrangements & centerpieces are collected and delivered to nursing homes & hospitals to bring cheer to the sick.
leftover giveaways, promotional products, & event supplies help equip families who have lost all their belongings in a natural disaster.
no matter what you’re doing — special E will rescue leftovers from any type of event, then re-distribute, re-purpose, & recycle them to benefit our planet and people in need. they operate in metro NYC, as well as other national markets. so check them out! supplies from a recent event in the puck building went to the bowery mission. so spread the love.
totally awesome E!
