EIXWIRONMENq'AL EDUCATION: <br /> <br />I hope we can see and agree that not only action plans, but also an environmental education <br />component is needed. That is, the development of utilization and recycling depends heavily <br />on volunteer input as well as voluntary compliance. Traditionally education has been <br />limited to K-12 formal settings. <br /> <br />The last decade has seen growth of community and informal settings for self-improvement <br />and learning. Residents need information and peer encouragement to effectively reduce, <br />reuse and recycle in our City setting. <br /> <br />Organic Fraction Recycling, battery collection, household hazardous waste, tree disease <br />control and re-planting, all need ongoing outreach. Can we address these on-going needs <br />totally by only volunteer effort? Can we augment the community schoo! forum for <br />recycling and environmental education? <br /> <br />Bruce F.
