HANDS-ON CLASSROOM WORKSHOPS PROMOTE WASTE PREVENTION

RECYCLING UNLIMITED offers unique classroom programs for students, 2nd - 6th grade, to teach about solid waste/recycling/composting/sourcereduction. Programs utilize presentation, critical thinking and math skills.

Students create worm bins while they learn about composting and how it can reduce waste - a most popular program!

By calculating the weight of their lunch waste students learn the importance of reducing that waste. They also learn how to "Shop Smart" by comparing different methods of food preparation - its a wrap !

Students learn about the need for packaging, types of packaging, and what makes good or bad packaging. They will design packaging for various products - very creative !

THE MAGIC IS THE MESSAGE

Mr. R.E. Cycle brings magic to the environment . . to your town, your school or your business ! Gary J. Mirasola, professional magician, has been entertaining and educating audiences for more than a decade. A former teacher and municipal recycling/clean communities coordinator, he now devotes his talents and professional expertise to performances which educate and inform the public. A back-up magician to the original Mr.R.E. Cycle, Gary has updated the act to deal with contemporary issues. His program includes source reduction, "buy recycled" and anti-litter messages.

"The new Mr. R.E. Cycle retains the magic - with an act that is "very today" - children and adults alike absolutely love him !", Sharon Pachler, Scotch Plains Recycling Coordinator
