Hi Professor Zimmerman,


I’m writing to let you know about summer opportunities for Amherst 
students and asking for your help spreading the word. I know that we've 
asked about this before, but we're doing our final recruitment push to 
kick off our summer campaign and want to get the word out to as many 
excited students as possible!


This summer, we’re running a campaign to prioritize ourWildlife Over 
Waste 
<https://environmentamerica.org/feature/ame/wildlife-over-waste>with 
Environment Massachusetts. We’re looking for passionate, hard-working 
people to join our summer staff so we can build citizen support in 
communities across MA to pass a ban on polystyrene, or what most people 
know as Styrofoam.


Could you pass along the email (below) to any students you know?


Thank you for your consideration and please let me know if you pass 
along the email so we can keep track of our outreach!


If you know of other people or places for us to advertise, I’d be happy 
to hear any advice you have.

Our Wildlife Over Waste Campaign:

Every day people are throwing away tons of single-use cups, containers 
and other plastic “stuff.” Among the worst forms of plastic pollution is 
polystyrene foam (the stuff most of us call Styrofoam), which never 
fully degrades.Nothing we use for a few minutes should be allowed to 
pollute our oceans and rivers and threaten wildlife for centuries. 
Already, 27 towns and cities in MA have passed some sort of ban on 
polystyrene. But there's still more work to be done!


That’s why we’re calling on state leaders to ban take-out foam cups and 
containers.


Our summer campaign staffgain real leadership experience by helping to 
manage staff, generating grassroots support from citizens, fundraising 
for the campaign, and participating in campaign actions like petitioning 
at farmer’s markets and attending lobby meetings. As a summer campaigner 
you can earn an average of $6,000-$8,000 for the summer, working for 
something you believe in and building long-lasting relationships with a 
team of people from across the country who share your interests and 
concerns on important issues!
