IGS Hero Project - Battery Recycling Campaign
Save your batteries!!  On FRIDAY May 6th, the IGS Hero Project will be collecting old batteries at a table outside of the lounge.  Did you know that zinc deficiency is a global health challenge? 2 billion people worldwide are affected and nearly 450,000 children die every year from complications associated with zinc deficiency.  Every AA battery contains the amount of zinc needed to save the lives of six children. Let's make a difference, Claremont!
