Welcome to "Recycling Starts With You"

Dear Teacher: This dynamic educational program will help your students build core skills as well as teach them important basics about paper recycling. Look inside for:

  • Lessons featuring a hands-on paper-making activity
  • A mini-poster to display above your recycling area or anywhere in the classroom

Enjoy, and remember, recycling starts with you!
