Over 730 Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) staff and parents and 725 children were educated about waste and toxicity reduction in their weekly classes. Many hands on activities took place, and the program encouraged at home changes, including making non-toxic cleaners (650 bottles). Fifty percent of the families reduced their use of toxic cleaning products. Families also learned about recycling at home and reducing junk mail. Three issues of the Early Childhood catalog sent to 3,800 families included waste reduction information. Thirty students were educated during lunchtime activities in the Gifted and Talented program for a three week period.
