Waste in our World offers children the chance to work cooperatively build a model landfill and use it to look at ways to divert waste and make our landfills safer for the environment. This is an inquiry-based opportunity that fully engages participants in hands-on learning and incorporates several cross-curricular competencies. This workshop ends with a discussion of ways to reduce waste, and challenges students to make a waste reduction pledge!
