Looking for lesson plans - Recycling Specific

January 15, 2013 9:37 AM

I am compiling a collection of K-12 lesson plans on waste reduction/recycling/reuse/composting etc. Where are the best places to look?

Many of the links I have found on google have the same five or six lessons. The EPA's Quest for Less is an example of what I am looking for. NYC's RRResource guide is also great.

Are there any other high quality free resources that I should be looking at?

I am searching more for compilations of activities than for individual lessons, but am open to anything.

What state is this for and are you trying to meet any Common Core standards?

Some North Carolina resources:
NC Environmental Education Teacher Resources and Learn NC a database of lesson plans that can be searched by keyword. A quick search for "Recycling" came up with several hits including links to resources from outside of NC.
