STRATEGIC PLANNING 2003 - PUBLIC OUTREACH — CLASSROOM RECYCLING
• PROJECT
Director Worthington reported presentations were given at Kline School, Rea Elementary
and Kaiser Elementary and all were overwhelmingly received. The 45- minute recycling
presentation teaches students the importance of recycling and protecting the environment.
Director Worthington is attempting to contact the School District to arrange a summer
public outreach program. It was suggested that private Costa Mesa schools be offered
the presentations as well. To further promote the program, Mr. Hamers suggested
preparing a brochure explaining the "presentations' offered by the District. To date, Mr.
Fauth and Mr. Hamers have participated in the presentations and Mr. Hamers reported
Ms. Revak will attend the next presentation and suggested the other Directors participate
on a rotating basis.
The second classroom - recycling project to be offered to the schools is a vermi- composting
project geared to 40' to 6th grade classes for their science lab or classroom. This program,
to be presented by Assistant Manager Tom Fauth, will begin early in the school year to
allow the worm farm to progress through a few cycles.
