Southwest Community Education has created a Green Team of adults and Southwest High School students. The team of 20 took six fieldtrips to learn about waste, after which they offered three waste reduction workshops through Adult Education, such as “Reducing Wastes & Toxic Substances in the Home & Workplace.” Through the workshops they educated 112 community members. They also incorporated waste reduction information into their youth Summer Trek Program reaching 150 youth and their families. They also offered waste and toxicity reduction information in local publications reaching over 13,000. They sponsored a household hazardous waste drop off event for Earth Day attracting 100 people. They plan to offer their workshops annually and continue their Green Team work on waste reduction and environmental issues in their community.
