Our staff took extra time this winter to educate the members about waste reduction through the recycling of aluminum cans. On a permanent basis, our can trailer sets a good example for our members and community. 7. Technical Research- Our Program staff utilized our technology center as a resource tool to teach children about recycling and the benefits of reducing the waste headed for the landfills. With the numerous web sites available on recycling, the children were able to discover new ways to recycle even in their own homes. This program was offered as a piece of our on-going technology training and included topics such as smog and air pollution, environmental benefits, and how to "buy recycled". One of the main web sites utilized was www.recylceminnesota.org. 8. Recycling Trivia- This was a fun way to teach the members "the facts" about recycling and landfill abatement. Trivia is a regular part of our Power Hour program and is enjoyed by all ages!
