Currently, most middle and high school teachers do not have a chemistry background, or in some cases, no chemistry whatsoever. It has been a long road convincing the school officials that there is a problem in our children's classrooms. Our overall goal is to make training mandatory, and to reduce the hazardous waste generated by our schools.
Reduction is a major first step.
I just wanted to know if there are any stats on how much money was saved using these internal reuse programs. I have been encouraging reuse here within our own GVRD offices, but one of the biggest constraints is space. While some information specific to Colorado is included, the general information and resources are applicable anywhere. The point of the site is to make it easy for people to share things so that we can all cut down on needless and wasteful purchasing of items that we don't need every day. Each user's information is kept private and shown only to the people who the user says can see it.
