Welcome to the Regional Waste Reduction Teachers Page! Our goal is to provide you
with information about us, our programs, as well as tools to download for your classroom.
This site is a work in progress; if we are missing a tool, activity or information
you would find useful, let us know!
The Regional Waste Reduction Office is part of a larger group of environmental educators,
including the City of Kelowna Environment Division, Regional Parks, and the Watersmart
program. We call ourselves the EECO Heroes!

The EECO Heroes also publish a yearly
Environmental Education: Classroom and Field Presentations booklet. This
document summarizes free activity-filled environmental education programs, presentations
and events available to you, designed to meet your learning outcomes.
The booklet is divided into the following sections:
-
Environmental Presentations - Available year-round. Topics include
transportation alternatives, regional parks, waste reduction, air and watershed
health and water conservation.
-
Environmental Programs - Year-round, hands-on programs have your
class or school participating in environmental activities. Excellent opportunities
to put into practice what students are learning in the classroom.
-
Environmental Events - Fun, exciting events, some during school
hours, others on weekends, allowing families to attend. A good start for planning
your yearly field trips.

Worms in the Classroom!
Why not adopt some worms? Not only are they an exceptional classroom teaching tool,
but they will also eat your students organic leftovers! Kids love the wigglers!
