Teaching Trash to Treasures

I've had a couple of occasions to teach my passion to others. I had a small program at the school I'm working at, which I called "Celebrate Sustainably" and taught the few families about ways to wrap presents that don't waste so much...and then we made tshirt bags, greeting card boxes and recycled notebooks.

I've also done a few individual projects with the afterschool kid care program. One week we made our own "wrapping paper" out of grocery bags, and the next time we made recycled notebooks. These kids just soak up this sort of thing.

Additionally, I get the privilege of teaching this to 15 college students for a wellness workshop. Pretty excited about that. Will probably be able to continue to offer it as I've been told there was high interest in the class (sizeable waiting list)
