Don't Feed the Landfill!

In 2009 Seattle and Shoreline elementary school students participated in CleanScapes’ waste reduction workshops featuring the first of the three R’s—Reduce. Students were asked to think about what they threw away, where the garbage goes, and what might happen if it never was taken away.

The “Don’t Feed the Landfill!” program highlighted the impact of garbage and how each person can make a difference to create less waste. Students were encouraged to write letters and create artwork that talked about how and why we should reduce waste. Some kids made posters, and other kids wrote letters to the people they believed could make the biggest difference.

A gallery of their inspirational letters and artwork is featured here.
