Some of you may have heard me mention it yesterday - GLFWDA purchased 2 bales of Peat Sorb, and Jim M volunteered to repackage it into useable size packages.  The prices are as follows:

3L ziploc - $5.00
3L hard plastic container - $6.00
8L (2 Gal) bucket - $18.00
9L Peat Sorb Bucket - $20.00
20L (5 Gal) bucket - $35.00

Per the company's website http://www.peatsorb.com/ absorbs hydrocarbon spills (oil, gas, hyraulic fluid) and encaplsulates it into a form that is safe to set at the curb with your regular trash.  Think of it as smart kitty litter.  It absorbs a bit more volume that it occupies dry, so 3L Peatsorb will suck up an oil pan spill or a large differential spill.  There are not a lot of dealers for this product, so GLFWDA bought some to repackage and resell, prices include a small markup.

Does anyone want to purchase some of this for themselves?

Do we want to start thinking about a club purchase of some of the smaller containers to serve as the starting point for a couple of standard "trail kits" for club runs - maybe adding a first aid kit and/or other items as we need them?
