“As an organization whose work has both a strong sustainability focus and global impact, recycling is for everyone, everywhere,” states Project WET Foundation President and CEO Dennis Nelson. “We thought that helping to raise awareness about the importance of recycling would be an appropriate way to make this year’s event even more special.”

Project WET Foundation published “Discover Recycling, Take Action!” with support from Nestlé Waters North America. Filled with fun activities that promote learning, the 16-page booklet is primarily intended for children, but contains pertinent information for anyone interested in knowing more about recycling. Topics covered include: the history of waste, effect of waste on water quality, products made from recycled materials, away-from-home recycling, along with a list of actions that people can take to help improve recycling rates.

Creating and distributing educational materials is one of the ways Project WET fulfills its mission of reaching children, parents, teachers and community members of the world with water education.  Since 1984, Project WET has advanced the knowledge of a wide range of water-related topics around the globe by partnering with local and regional organizations across the U.S., as well as 45 countries worldwide. In addition to publishing water resource materials in several languages, Project WET provides training workshops, organizes community water events and is building an international network of educators, water resource professionals and scientists.
