Pollution Prevention Project and Lesson Ideas
 Learning by doing can be a very effective way to help classroom lessons resonate with students. On our blog, you'll find some fun and informative project ideas designed for students to get a hands-on experience in pollution prevention. Some projects are meant to be done in school, and some can be done at home. Either way, these ideas should prompt students to start thinking and acting in ways that will reduce pollution before it’s created.
