This innovative program provides students with an immersive and dynamic learning experience with recycling, trash, and waste streams. By participating in hands-on lessons, students gain an understanding of consumerism, pollution and potential solutions.

This curriculum was created by Darren Bingham of REGEN Consulting Services in partnership with the Azulita Project and Willow Bend Environmental Education Center. Funding was provided by the Arizona Community Foundation of Flagstaff, the City of Flagstaff, and other supporters.

This innovative approach provides students with an immersive and dynamic learning experience with
waste. By developing hands-on and experiential lessons, students engage with waste creativity. This
curriculum was created by Darren Bingham MA, an environmental educator in partnership with Willow
Bend Environmental Education Center. Maria Campbell PhD assisted as a curriculum consultant.
This curriculum grew from the Strive for 5 in Action in-school education program created by Willow Bend
and the Azulita Project. Strive for 5 was funded by the Arizona Community Foundation of Flagstaff and
the City of Flagstaff, Arizona.

How to Use:

This curriculum was developed with four lessons to be followed in order. Lesson One should be tailored to your personal community. Check with a local provider or municipality for what can and cannot be recycled in your area. Additional activities are provided in many of the lessons. This curriculum has been updated to fit the needs of a virtual classroom, but was originally created for in-person teaching.

Additionally, it is critical that this education be implemented alongside proper recycling infrastructure and signage for students to be truly successful. Lastly, contact your local waste provider about getting accurate recycling information, signage, and infrastructure improvements.

TESTIMONIALS

I didn’t know I couldn’t recycle that. But why does it have a recycling logo on it

4th grader at B&G- While at a recycling center tour about plastics with recycling logos on it.

That sure is alot of recycling and that's only from one day?

6th grader at B&G while on a recycling center tour

I never thought about collective solutions to waste, I always thought about how I could do better myself.

Adult volunteer at B&G-

Oftentimes I find that the trash and recycling [bins] look the same when I empty them.

Custodian at FALA before the project started

I think it's really cool you are getting us signage and making recycling uniform across campus. It can be really confusing at times trying to recycle right.

9th grader at FALA about the project

Wait, the city has to landfill 1 out of every 3 items we put in the recycling bin? Well that is ridiculous.

9th grader at FALA during impacts of waste

I think that changing others behaviors around waste won’t be as hard now that I know how to talk to them
