This year the provincial and territorial organizers of Waste Reduction Week in Canada will focus on municipalities, schools and business and how each part of society can make a difference in the amount of waste that is produced across Canada. With the help of promotional and resource materials, facts and statistics on current wasteful practices and activities to engage them, participants are encouraged to contribute to solutions for waste-free living.

School is the perfect place to practice waste reduction. Students who learn about waste in their classrooms or run their own composting or recycling programs will be able to teach their families about how to minimize waste.

The Waste Reduction Week in Canada School Kit and Poster are a great starting point for any educator who wants their school to reduce the amount of waste they are producing as well as providing students with valuable curriculum based lessons that can become habits of a lifetime.

Why not also Register your school online to receive a hardcopy of the kit and a colour poster. Your school will also be listed on our website with others from across the country to show that you are making an effort to minimize Canada's waste.
