	KC the Recycling Raccoon Grades: K-4, 45 minutes Invite KC and his recycling friends to your school, organization or event to help promote recycling. Appearances are dependent upon staff availability. Groups of 60 or more, please.
	Packing a Waste Free Lunch Grades: 3+, 45 minutes Grade Level Content Expectations: Science: E.ES.03.41 through 44; E.ES.03.51 through 52; The term “green” is used frequently, but what does it means to be green? Is it difficult to ‘be green’? In fact, being ‘green’ is really about choices. The choices each of us makes have an impact (either positive or negative) on the environment. This presentation will help your students discover simple ways they choose to be “greener” in their lives—including the simple task of packing their lunch.
	Watch Your Waste! Grades: 2-8, 45 minutes Grade Level Content Expectations: Science: E.ES.03.41 through 44; E.ES.03.51 through 52; E.ES.07.41 through 42 This presentation will emphasize that much of what we throw in the trash is not necessarily trash—it can be reused, recycled, or composted and we can easily reduce the amount that does go in the trash. We will also discuss how reducing, reusing and recycling can save natural resources. Our presenter will guide your students as we sort through the “trash” we bring.
	Paper or Plastic? The Great Debate Grades: 9-12, 45 minutes Many people assume that paper bags are better for the environment, but are they really? By analyzing the life cycle of paper and plastic bags, students will make a jaw-dropping discovery about the resources required to make both types of bags and determine whether there is a better option (of course there is!)
