The final product will be two-fold: 1. Thirty identical durable resource packets with learning activities,prepared presentations, originals for duplicating,background information,resource lists,books and games. These EXHIBIT A items would be used for school and community presentations. The packets would be distributed to thirty recycling coordinators for their ongoing use for public education. The recycling coordinator can tailor the items to his/her needs. Several learning activities in these packets would be linked to more in-depth activities contained in the trunks described in#2 (below). 2. Five educational trunks that provide further"hands-on"learning. These would be developed for the participating cities, and would be evaluated for usefulness throughout Hennepin County. These trunks would be designed for use in either a classroom, assembly or event settings. Materials for the"tool kits"would contain as high a post consumer recycled content as possible. This project would be directed by the recycling coordinators from Minnetonka,Brooklyn Park, HRG,Plymouth, Bloomington, and Eden Prairie in consultation with teachers from at least two school districts. Research and product design and construction would be provided by the Science Museum of Minnesota. The team will work to insure that these packets and trunks are easy to understand and use, clearly demonstrate the important role of waste reduction,recycling, composting and resource conservation and enhance school curricula. These learning tools would be ready for distribution and use when the 2001-02 school year begins in September, 2001. Training,promotion and an evaluation tool will also be components of the project.
