Transfiguration reduced the amount of waste generated and increased recycling, reuse, and waste reduction activities. Through education, behavior-modeling, and pledges,Transfiguration engaged families to change their waste generation behaviors intheir own homes. They also implemented a very successful Food-to-Hogs programthat engages and teaches students, staff, and parishioners the value and importance of composting. The 2009 Transfiguration Fall Festival demonstrated how some up-front planning, clever signs, placement of easily-identified recycling and trash bins, and education can make a huge impact on reducing waste and increasing recycling at a large scale event. And lastly, with the help of dedicated teachers and staff, the curriculum was infused with environmental themes and lessons so students could become more environmentally literate and make sustainable choices in the future. There was so much positive momentum that came about with this grant that they expanded and continue their efforts.
