Raptor Center staff and volunteers incorporated waste and toxicity reduction messages (such as how heavy metals enter the waste stream and the environment and can harm humans and birds) into 80 live bird public programs, reaching over 13,000 people. At each presentation, the volunteer or staff discussed how to reduce waste and toxicity and how this benefits the birds and humans. GreenGuardian.com was promoted by distributing a SWMCB household hazardous waste brochure to each person attending the presentation; by giving away hundreds of Green Guardian pencils; and through large, attractive banners showcasing the Green Guardian and this project (on view in the lobby of the Raptor Center). The Green Guardian was also highlighted on the Raptor Center’s e-newsletter and website. The new public education program “Think Globally, Act Locally: Raptors and You” is offered at 1:00 PM every Saturday and Sunday at the Raptor Center and can also be presented off-site.
