Project Change – Event Four
Save the Planet
Benefiting: Kansas City Department of Parks & Recreation & Grunhouse

For our Save the Planet Project we are teaming with the Kansas City Department of Parks and Recreation and Grunhouse. The plan is to aid in making the fountain of Kansas City more sustainable. This past year the fountains were in danger of ceasing to turn on due to lack of monetary funds. Energy and water costs add up to keep the hundreds of fountains in Kansas City running. In effort to avoid repetitive energy costs and consuming excessive amounts nonrenewable natural resources we are discussing using solar panels to generate energy from the sun to power the fountains. Here are a few of the fountains that are in contending for receiving the solar panel systems. To do this we plan to have a Project "Change" drive. The change drive will take place at and around the fountains that have been selected for enhancement. The event will encourage people to make a wish for the planet as they throw change into collection containers. The change that is collected will go toward alleviating the costs of the solar panel and water saving systems. The exact date for the Project "Change" Drive event is still up for discussion.
