SHELBY COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL

PROGRAMS PRESENTS

ENLIGHTENING TIMES
WITH STUDENTS

Educational programs geared to be informative and fun are being offered by the Shelby County Environmental Programs Department.  Each program described below is approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour in length for groups of 25 or less in the Shelby County School System.  If you are interested in booking a program for your class, please call our office at 379-4430 or email us at lisa.williams@shelbycountytn.gov.

Litter Belongs In The Can!  This program includes a wonderful book called "The Day the Trash Came Out to Play", and discussion of our attitudes and responsibilities toward litter in our environment.  A word search to reiterate the lessons in this book is a favorite in the classroom.  The StopLitter mesage and educational materials from Keep Tennessee Beautiful are incorporated with this program.

The Battery Barn or the Trash?  Discover the items in your home that are classified as household hazardous waste, how this type litter destroys our drinking water and what we should do to dispose of them properly.  Create and decorate your very own Battery Barn by recycling an empty can from home to collect household batteries and dispose of them properly.

Reduce, Reuse, or Recycle?  Define the differences between reducing, reusing, and recycling.  Is it possible to reduce and reuse at the same time?  Experiment with creative ways to reuse trash.  How about learning some new "R" words to take care of our planet?  We need to "rethink" our daily routines.

FUNDING OF THESE PROGRAMS IS PROVIDED BY THE TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION LITTER GRANT PROGRAM
