At Roosevelt Homes in St. Paul, District 2 Community Council staff used door knocking, recycling education activities, and hands-on training to encourage and educate residents on ways to reduce and reuse household waste. During the one year grant period, District 2 Community Council, as part of their new citizens outreach program, worked with residents to encourage increased participation in curbside recycling. Residents participating in the gardening program, under the tutelage of a Ramsey County Master Gardener, learned how to use garden, as well as kitchen waste, to augment soils. Three of four community gardens have now been enhanced with a communal composting site. The Hmong New Year celebration and English as a Second Language classes were used as opportunities for households to use the internet to opt out of yellow page phone book deliveries.
