Teacher Links

There are many sites filled with how to connect information on waste reduction and recycling to your classroom. Here are a few of the many. Use their links to explore!

• Check out the Rotten Truth About Garbage.
• Have your students design their own creative environmental messages to be drawn on grocery bags and then placed in local stores. Check out bag designs and project ideas at www.earthdaybags.org
• The Sierra Club's environmental education site.
• The EPA teacher's site.
• The Environmental Education Link.
• Project Learning Tree has a great solid waste curriculum.

In the future we would like this web site to be a resource that allows schools to check out what other schools in Clackamas County are doing. We envision linking interested schools to other school's websites that describe their recycling and waste reduction programs. Contact us if you would like to be included in this opportunity
