                       RECOGNIZING THE CRAFT BOX

                                 ______

                       Thursday, January 18, 2024

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize The Craft Box 
for receiving the Wheat Ridge Business Association's 2023 
Sustainability Award.
  The Sustainability Award is given to a business in Wheat Ridge with a 
strong commitment to the environment. Since their opening, The Craft 
Box has created a sustainable program that has stopped 19,000 pieces of 
fabric, 6,000 rubber stamps, 14,000 books, and 152,000 craft items from 
ending up in a landfill--an estimated 12,000 pounds of waste.
  I thank The Craft Box for their continued work to help create a 
greener, more sustainable Wheat Ridge.
