Thank you all for comments.
Connie - how do teachers get the packages? Are they requested? Have you had any success in terms of the actual tracking?
Jennifer - Thanks for directing me to those resources. Can you tell me how often they are being used in schools? Also it says that you do follow-up presentations. What do the presentations include?
Norm - I'm sure many schools would be interested. In particular Eco-clubs are always looking for ways to do something. Have you had any success with contacting schools?
All the best

Waste Management Education Tools for Schools
2010-11-08 21:48:39 UTC
I am working for Stewardship Ontario, a waste management organization specializing in Blue Box (regular recycling) and HHW (hazardous household waste) all across Ontario.
We are beginning an awareness and education program in schools. We are trying to reach youth from Kindergarten to grade 12. Our focus is raising awareness about HHW waste management. Our difficulty is that youth tend not to interact with these types of waste in their daily life, and we aren't able to use physical examples because they are hazardous. Ensuring we reach our audience with a meaningful message is key, but quite difficult given the above issues.
I'm looking for creative hands-on activities that can be used in schools to help raise awareness of the significance of HHW waste management and encourage youth to value waste management.

I really enjoy the new format! It is very attractive and easy to use.
Although the listsev was very convenient - I hope that everyone on the listerv continues to participate. Am I right that unless you are taking part in the conversation you won't be notified about new posts?

Looking for Research Exploring the Effects of Increased Wealth (perceived/actual opportunity to do anything) on Commitment to be part of a Local Community
2009-01-15 14:46:37 UTC
I'm looking for evidence that as income increases peoples tendencies to remain with a single community for the long term decreases. But income doesn't have to be the deciding factor. Generally I'm curious about the psychological impacts of believing in almost limitless possibilities (and having the resources to realize those possibilities), and thus becoming very nomadic. The effect being that fewer people are committing themselves to a single community to provide meaningful insight, influence and impact.
I have several follow up questions, but I would like to get some information first.
