This cost-free initiative is inviting participants who are keen to dive into the nitty-gritty of waste reduction, the cycles of recycling, and the finesse of composting, a quest for knowledge that will be shepherded by regional experts and complemented with practical field trips to see recycling in action, the program demands a 30-hour volunteer commitment upon completion, wherein participants can either spearhead their eco-projects or band together with fellow ambassadors.
For those with packed schedules, the flexibility of this program is a godsend extending over five weeks with classes every Tuesday, from 6 to 8 p.m. via our era’s classroom - Zoom - while not shying away from the occasional hands-on experience, offering optional field trips that even sort out transportation.
Registration will adopt a first-come, first-served protocol, no time like the present for the green-hearted to secure their spot on this environmental vanguard, further details for prospective planet warriors or how to sign oneself up, are within arm’s reach at the Recycling Ambassador page or via contact with Kirsten Wahlberg at the given email and phone number, who is the go-to person for more insight.
