15.Over the past few years (with the exception of this year due to the 10K to 8K change), we’ve designed Race Against Hate lawn signs to be reusable in order to save resources and reduce waste. This means participants need to store their signs for use the following year. As we plan ahead, how do you feel about this approach?

Yes – I appreciate the environmentally and financially conscious choice and am happy to reuse my sign

No – I’m not able or willing to store my sign for future use

I don’t have a strong opinion
