A big thanks to everyone who participated in our contest. In 2008, the Aquarium recylced 9 tons, or 18.000 lbs of paper!

It looks like we have three winners. Congratulations to Charlie, Kevin, and Ryan for guessing the correct number. Look out for an email from the Aquarium with details about your prize.

Thanks for your efforts. I am just starting an effort to reduce the number of small water bottles produced by encouraging the use of reusable, non-reactive bottles. Project #1 is dive boats in Cozumel Mexico. If you have any tips alomg these lines please advise me. cowboy
