Teachers

Teachers, let's talk garbage! It’s all over the news – What are we going to do with all of our waste? EcoSource Mississauga is here to help you and the young people you know tackle this critical issue. EcoSource is committed to engaging youth to take action on things they can do today - reducing, reusing, recycling and composting.


Lesson Ideas For Your Classroom

Looking for something to do in the classroom that reinforces waste reduction issues in a fun and challenging way? These lesson ideas created by EcoSource will lead students through an interdisciplinary, curriculum-based learning experience. Carefully planned out lessons introduce students to the three Rs hierarchy. These lessons guide students from gaining an understanding of waste issues to personal action to reduce waste. We have divided the lessons up into reduce, reuse, recycle, and compost sections. In each of these categories there is a lesson for primary, junior and intermediate levels.

Secondary School Workshops

Workshops are a component of the EcoSource Secondary Green Schools Program.  Check out our Green Schools section to find out how your school can become an EcoSource Secondary Green School!

EcoSource Secondary Green Schools Program

The EcoSource Secondary Green Schools Program is designed to support Mississauga high schools in waste reduction efforts. The Program builds on the Elementary Green Schools Program and adopts the principles of whole school participation and “walking the talk”!

Elementary Workshops

EcoSource has been providing waste reduction and environmental education to schools in Mississauga since 1986. Our workshops, designed for youth from Grades 1- 8, focus on real waste issues that are truly relevant to school-aged children in the Mississauga area. Let EcoSource help you to meet curriculum expectations and inspire students to take responsible personal action to reduce their waste!
