Waste management is a huge issue facing our world today, and The Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education has created curriculum to help communicate this issue effectively to our most important assets – our children. With lessons for students in K-12th grade, the TerraCycle Curriculum presents the concept of waste and how we can eliminate it. The lessons operate under the fact that “waste” doesn’t actually exist – there is no magical “away” where things go when you “throw them away.” Besides teaching this concept, the lessons also ensure our next generation is ready to solve this issue, by drawing inspiration from nature – biomimicry.
