Litter Kits in Schools Program
This past spring, Keep Durham Beautiful launched the pilot for a new litter prevention program, Litter Kits in Schools. The program was created with the intention of providing resources to Durham schools to conduct litter clean ups and incorporate sustainability lessons at their school grounds. After a 2019 survey of Durham teachers highlighted a need for sustainability-focused resources and lessons at local schools, the Litter Kits in Schools program was created. The program provides a litter kit and an accompany curriculum to with the intention of providing sustainability-focused materials and resources to Durham schools. A litter prevention and waste reduction curriculum was developed with the Clean Water Education Partnership from Triangle J Council of Governments for participating teachers in the program, to be used in tandem with a litter pick up kit for 15 students per clean up provided at each participating school. Since the pandemic delayed the program, KDB’s newest AmeriCorps service member, Princess Mutasa, has taken on recruiting schools and managing the program!
