Corporate Corner  

Over 100 CNBC volunteers were ready to put 'reduce, reuse, recycle'  to  the test this Earth Day. The group decor ated bright and colorful produce signs that were donated to a local Newark  garden. They also assembled numerous bird feeders made from recyclable items such as water bottles, ca rdboard rolls, p opsicle  sticks, and aluminum cans. These crafty feeders were donated to a Jersey City children's camp as a learning tool to teach campers about recycling and the  environment. A big green thumbs up to CNBC for all of their hard work in making New Jersey a more sustainable place for all its inhabitants!
