Missouri Botanical Garden’s EarthWays Center knows that teachers are the sustainability champions within schools. Through lessons, afterschool clubs, and green teams, educators help to drive school sustainability culture. To support that work, EarthWays Center offers professional development opportunities for educators focused on waste reduction, recycling, and green team development.
There are opportunities for educators who are just learning about what can be recycled and those who are ready to take on more sustainability leadership roles. “Thinking Beyond the 3Rs” is our annual waste reduction workshop that introduces educators to solid-waste related topics.
