The Power of R
Better Choices, Better Future.
Reducing our ecological footprint is now more important than it's ever been. For every truckload of solid goods manufactured an average of 32 trucks pack away the waste it takes to produce those goods. The Power of R program is designed to engage our community in environmental issues. Contract educators Gayle Bates and Zac Whyte deliver dynamic presentations that create connections and help youth understand the importance of reducing solid waste, and conserving water in the CVRD and SRD. Together we can rethink, reduce, reuse and recycle our way to a healthy planet and sustainable lifestyle.
All presentations are free of charge to the public because Waste Reduction Education is funded by CSWM solid waste tipping fees.

Program delivery and collaborative lesson planning are available to teachers and groups. Individual presentations and workshops are available for all ages.

“Ecological footprint is not about ‘how bad things are.’ It is about humanity’s continuing dependence on nature and what we can do to secure Earth’s capacity to support a human existence for all in the future.”
~ Mathis Wackernagel and William E. Rees
