Environmental education in a special education classroom

Pretrina Mullins, a special education teacher at White Pass Junior Senior High School in Randle, Wash., created a recycling program to help her students and community understand more about the importance of sustainable behavior.

She and her students set up recycling bins around the school. They started first by collecting paper then expanded the program to include bottles, glass and aluminum. Her students were responsible for making posters to promote the program as well as collecting and sorting through the combined bins twice a week.
