We provided the talent for this series of Public Service Announcements for the Partnership for a Drug Free New Hampshire. These spots produced by www.thetroupe.com, aired regularly across New England cable media channels on Fox Family Channel, Nickelodeon, MTV and other networks for over three years.

Under our direction, The Children and the Living Earth Initiative a not-for-profit community organization, worked with educators at Antioch NE Institute and state agencies to develop a series of PSA's for radio and television. The series, along with the PSA campaign, provided children with an appealing role model for sustainable living and offered concrete solutions for troubling times. Our effort was endorsed by former New Hampshire Governor Jean Shaheen and was made possible with grants from The Fuller Foundation, The Piscataqua Foundation, State agencies, private individuals and The Troupe.

"Recycling is really important, but sometimes it's hard", says Sam Snail. Lesley Smith reassures Sam that he doesn't have to do it all by himself. Membership in the New Hampshire Governor's Recycling Program, THE CLUB, provided half price recycling bins, cool prizes, technical assistance and awards to New Hampshire schools.

Our P.S.A.'s timely advice has turned up on almost every radio and television station across New England. Children loved them!

"How do you handle teasing?" says the Mrs. Biddle puppet. "One: Tell them to stop; Two: Pretend it doesn't bother you; Three: Walk away. If you are being bullied, always tell a trusted adult." We provided the New Hampshire Association of School Principals with a bullying pamphlet for children and one for parents and teachers. Radio and television spots urged you to call to receive a fact sheet complete with websites, book lists and more.
