Recycling in School- Learning to Help the Environment

Summary of Project

Students learned about recycling, composting, upcycling, and how these things impact the environment. They learned from Missouri Organic Recycling and through research to make future connections and implement recycling collections at school.

Key Takeaways or Advice

The students were very open to learning new things and when it dealt with eventually getting to put their hands in the dirt, they were very motivated to do the research. I wish I would have anticipated how hard some connections would be to make. Some places just do not have the time to give for reaching back out and foster those connections that would propel the project forward. It is completely understandable, just was not anticipated.
