Circular Materials

Empowering Youth to Recycle is a free interactive and curriculum-aligned workshop designed for New Brunswick elementary classrooms. Students will explore what can be recycled at school through engaging sorting games, then work together to plan a real-world recycling action that makes a difference.

Participating schools will receive a recycling school toolkit with digital and printed resources and materials to support ongoing recycling efforts and keep the momentum going after the workshop.

Schools who are interested in recycling services can register with Circular Materials. Learn more at circularmaterials.ca/NBschools.

  • Opportunities with The Gaia Project have helped to bring about real changes, not only in the students' understanding and views of the world around them and their capacity to help, but also in the way the school is actually run as we have made concrete changes in some of our energy consumption strategies and practices.
