In their Round 9 grant project, Camp Fire USA staff researched and updated the re-use, waste reduction, recycling, and reducing household hazardous sections of their Wise Old Willie curriculum. Club leaders were trained to use the curriculum in all of their clubs. The curriculum was implemented in 100% of Camp Fire's clubs across the Twin Cities - including both youth and teens in action participants. The reuse and waste reduction activities focused on learning about natural resources and how they are used to create consumer products, source reduction, and reusing common household products for hands on projects and group games. The household hazardous waste activities focused on recycling, household hazardous waste, and reducing waste among family and community members through youth coordinated community service projects. Camp Fire's club leaders supplemented environmental curriculum with teambuilding and leadership development activities to help with implementing environmental service-learning projects.  

In 2006, Camp Fire USA implemented a waste reduction curriculum in five Teen Action Clubs, exposing over 1,500 youth to waste reduction information. This curriculum has been made widely available to other Camp Fire club leaders. About 60 teens learned in depth about waste issues by attending a field trip to the Hennepin County recycling center. These youth also brought waste reduction information home by conducting home waste assessments, documenting waste disposal on a calendar, making non-toxic cleaners, and playing the staff created “Earth in Jeopardy” game. The teens implemented large scale service-learning projects in all five club locations reaching 5,954 people. Projects included working with custodial staff to reduce waste at school, creating and implementing waste education campaigns, chalking footprints to recycling bins, composting in the cafeteria, and distributing non-toxic cleaning packets to friends and family.
