This after-school and summer program for K-8th grade youth is located in the Phillips neighborhood of South Minneapolis. As part of the “We CAN Make a Difference” project, youth and families learned about junk mail reduction and recycling through multiple lessons and activities. Over 100 families have removed their names from junk mail lists, started recycling, and/or started recycling new materials. Students completed an audit of Kaleidoscope’s own recycling habits, and presented waste reduction information at two Family events. An issue of Kaleidoscope’s monthly newsletter was dedicated to their Community POWER efforts. They will continue to dedicate one month each year to waste reduction themes.
