Among its many responsibilities,the Department guardian; manages California's earth resources so we are moreself-reliant in meeting our or steward energy needs; and promotes recycling so wehave fewer resources going to landfills and more resource: for jobs. practiced by more and The Education "Recycle, reduce and reuse" is the vital conservation ethic more Californians. The EducationSection, within the Department of Conservation's Section encourages natural resources California youth to Division of Recycling, encourages California youth to conserve and diminish their waste production through educationand project participation. conserve natural The publication before you introduces and reinforcesrecycling, reducing and reusing resources... through a series of youth-oriented activities. In addition,students discover that, as consumers, they can "close the loop" by movingbeyond recycling to include purchasing recycled products.
This guide incorporates the Unifying Concepts of EnvironmentalEducation: to foster awareness of and respect for the environment; tobuild knowledge of some basic environmental concepts and promote responsible actions towardthe environment. Constructivist learning theory was also considered duringthe development of activities. Students relate activities to their own lives,explore existing conditions, develop alternatives, and interact with themselves and theircommunity discovering they can impact their futures.
In response to teacher surveys taken at conferencesand feedback from the two previous Educator's Waste Management Resource and ActivityGuides, we have incorporated a video based activity,multiple-session classroom activities, and activities requiring more group participation andstudent conducted research. We expandec "Supplementary Materials" section to include many more resources.This publication also provides references to local governmentand community resources, listing recycling coordinators, recycling center operators, and notingthose willing to conduct tours or do in-class presentations. translation of some materials.

We hope you find this publication beneficial in introducing, reinforcing andinstilling the recycle, reduce, reuse and close the loop ethic in yourclassrooms.
DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION Division ofRecycling vii I HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE.
Recognizing that educators face multiple demands in presenting curriculum, these activities may be integrated into a number of disciplines. Many incorporate science, history and social science, English and language arts, mathematics and art. Most activities include methods for teacher and student evaluations. THE GUIDE IS DIVIDED INTO SECTIONS: I. Eletaentary and Middle School Classroom Activities The first section targets elementary and middle school students. Educators will find activities which have basic presentations that may be adapted depending upon grade level. Most activities include or are followed by handouts or games. Also, for those activities requiring parent assistance, sample letters and parent information are provided in English and Spanish. Creative waste-reducing plans inspired and practiced by children completes this section. 2. Middle and High School Classroom ActivitiesThe second section targets middle and high school students. More research and independent action (outside the classroom) are required. Spanish translations are not available in this section. Less parent involvement is required and students are expected to articulate to non-English speaking parents what they are involved in as well as their needs from parents. 3. Recycling in Schools Detailed information on how schools can establish a recycling program offers schools a beginning point in their recycling efforts. This section includes a step-by-step process for establishing a schoolrecycling program and provides ideas and examples ofrecycling programs from other schools. 4. Trivia, Facts and Other Stuff This section provides interesting information related to waste and recyclable materials and their history. Educators may pull information from this section to share with students during presentation of specific activities. This section may also benefit students in development of research papers or presentations. The trivia section is organized alphabetically by material or subject matter (aluminum, compost, glass, landfills, oil, paper, plastics, steel, tires and waste). This is followed by miscellaneous information on litter and its decomposition time and some fun information on historical perspectives. 5. Supplementary Materials This section provides names,addresses and brief abstracts of related environmental materials. It contains listings of activity, coloring and comic booklets; books; catalogs; curricula; magazines; recycling programs and videos. 6. Listing of Environmental Organizations Environmental organizationswith an interest in waste management, provided information for inclusion inthis section. Types of information include: organizational mission or goals, services the organizations provide, descriptions of how organizations may benefit educators and students and how to contact the organizations. 7. Local Government and Community Contacts This section provides alisting of government officials responsible for recycling efforts intheir communities as well as a listing of local certified recycling center operators.Each listee was contacted by telephone and surveyed as to their availability and willingness to perform tours of their facility, in-class presentations and provide informational materialsfor educators and students. (See the notations following each listing.) The section is organized alphabetically by county; then by city within that specific county. 8. Glossary Written in English and Spanish, this section is intended to augment the curriculum, clarifying some terms and their common usages.

20 DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION Division of Recycling SAMPLE LETTER TO PARENTS REQUESTING RECYCLABLES
Dear Parents:
The class is currently involved in discussions and activities dealing with the earth's resources. Students are lc arning about the resources used to produce items like plastic bottles, newspapers, aluminum and other metal cans and glass products. Once we discuss the resources necessary to produce these items, we will group some of these products in a recycling activity.
It would be a big help if you could send one or more products made of the following substances: plastic, aluminum, paper, steel and glass. (Please rinse things out to help us manage our classroom environment.) I ask that you use your discretion with regard to glass products. If we don't end up with any glass products, I can bring some from my home.
Thank you for your assistance.

Discuss how some were more effective than others about removing the cream without destroying their cookie. How might this compare to our removal of earth's natural resources? Might some methods of removal be more effective than others? What other types of things can be done to slow the removal of the earth's natural resources?
By thinking about what we need, being cautious about meeting our needs and by recycling and reusing things, we can do something about maintaining our earth's natural resources. We can even have some of those things we may not necessarily need, but want! Eat the remnants!

DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION Division of Recycling 53 STUDENT-INSPIRED WASTE REDUCTION PLANS
In the fall of 1993, the California Department of Conservation, K-Swiss and Scholastic Inc. sponsored the Waste Busters to the Rescue Contest. The contest challenged students to think of creative ways for their families to reduce waste. Students developed and implemented waste reducing plans, monitoring the results for one week. The following are verbatim samples of plans, illustrations and impressions submitted by students. Some arc excerpted, while others are presented in their entirety.

2
This system is designed for composting vegetable food wastes using redworms. Food and worms are "bedded" in shredded and moistened newspaper, cardboard, peat or brown leaves. The worms turn both food wastes and bedding into a high-quality compost suitable for use on house plants, seedlings or general garden use. To maintain this system simply rotate food wastes throughout the bin. Every 3-6 months, compost should be moved to one side of the bin and new bedding added to the empty half. At this time start burying wastes in the new bedding only. Within one month worms will populate the new bedding; finished compost may be harvested and the rest of the bin can be rebedded. During the winter, worm bins should be kept in a cool indoor space such as a basement or warm garage to avoid freezing. A properly maintained worm bin is odorle'ss. Bins may be placed in a shady outdoor space the remainder of the year. Flies may be controlled by placing a sheet of plastic over the bedding. This bin can be built for about $35 with new wood and hardware, or less using reused materials. Worm bins can also be made from wooden boxes or other containers. Any v rm bin must have drainage in the bottom and a tight fitting lid to keep moisture in and pests out. A starter batch of worms can be purchased at a small additional cost, or find some in an old compost pile! For more information, see Mary Appelhors book, Worms Eat My Garbage.

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is a nonprofit organization involved with investigation and documentation of violations of international laws, regulations and treaties protecting marine wildlife species. Sea Shepherd publishes a quarterly newsletter full of education information, updates on current laws and legislation, addresses for writing protest letters and updates of SSCS activities.
The Society was founded by Captain Paul Watson. He was one of the original founding fathers of Greenpeace, but left in 1977 to establish Sea Shepherd. Sea Shepherd is supported to oily by contributions from the public, and has always remained a mobile and non-bureaucratic organization. Sea Shepherd ships are crewed by volunteers and engage in expeditions armed with cameras and videotape to document any illegal exploitation of marine wildlife. With the evidence on film, Sea Shepherd has been able to work closely with the media to publicize the issues, and turn-in violators to officials, as well as to document our successes which include ending the seal hunt in the Scottish Orkney Islands, the dolphin slaughter in Iki, Japan and stopping illegal driftnetters in the Pacific Ocean. Sea Shepherd is the only organization that enforces the International Whaling Commission moratorium prohibiting whaling. The Society is committed to the goal of "being in business for the purpose of putting ourselves out of business", but unfortunately, illegal operations have not only continued, they have escalated in recent months. Sea Shepherd will remain devoted to protecting the citizens of the oceans as long as is necessary.
