FIELD TRIP to the Republic - Allied Recycling Education Center and Solid Waste Landfill Site
Photos at pineygreenclub.shutterfly.com show the technology the students had the opportunity to learn about, so they can take care of their brains.
This brain food was a motivating experience, so our young children will take responsibility in taking care of our earth. This trip was arranged by Niki Nira, Education Center Director and Todd Casselman, General Manager and chair of Keep Houston Beautiful. Joining the children was Robin Blut, Executive Director of KHB. The trip was sponsored by a grant from the National Girls Collaborative Project and KTB / H-E-B Green Bag Recycling Grant.Mildred said, “She could not believe how many people throw away too much trash. There was a lot of trash in the landfill. WOW!” One student said, I thought tires were not supposed to be in a landfill; response was some people don't follow rules. Another student observed all the cardboard boxes that should have been recycled. Asia liked the landfill, but thought it “stanked.” Upon returning Galvin said, "The world will need our help or it will be a junkyard soon." Julian said, “I like the Earth to be clean.” Kimberly said, "I need to pick up the trash in the world to help."

Genevieve said, “I like learning about the paper shaped like boxes squished together.” Jason liked seeing how it worked. Juan thought the trip rocked and really liked the video.
