Half-full had the pleasure of working with our great hometown  City of Lancaster and the wonderful folks at LIVE Green to launch a campaign to encourage residents to help prevent 750 million gallons of rainwater from entering its combined sewer system. Sounds boring? Anything but. This water is the prime pollutant of the Chesapeake Bay and by cleaning it up the City will save thousands of dollars in fines from the EPA, help preserve clean drinking water, and continue to build a healthy, vibrant community here in Lancaster.

Half-full helped LIVE Green nail the Save It! Lancaster campaign– with a new logo, a web portal of information (www.saveitlancaster.com), and a plethora of marketing materials, in English and in Spanish, to help get the word out.

Now get out there and Save it, Lancaster!

And, she’s a woman after our own hearts: she spends much of her time in the marketing department of the Nature Conservancy. She’s bringing much needed style to the Enviro movement!
