Key recycling

The Providence Bruins (AHL) hosted an unwanted/unneeded key collection event for charity at their January 23 game. The keys will be recycled by Key For Hope (www.keyforhope.org), which will have an informational table at the game. The proceeds from the key recycling will be used to purchase food for those in need in the Providence area.

Green Grass

Ceres, a company out of Thousand Oaks, CA has been working on developing a genetically modified switchgrass plants. The plants can be grown in saltwater. The plants can be used for biodeisel fuel. Several years ago a company developed a type of grass that could grow in saltwater. The thought was that the grass can be used in golf courses where saltwater was available and could reduce watering costs and since bugs did not eat the grass, it reduced the need for pesticide. If Ceres can develop grass and other plants for the sport market it can produce great opportunities for the sport facility industry.
