In April, OC Waste & Recycling (OCWR) and Discovery Cube Orange County (DCOC) teamed up to celebrate Earth Month by creating resources for the community to participate from the comfort of their own homes. Since COVID-19 prevented in-person educational engagement activities, we transitioned many of OCWR’s events and public outreach efforts to virtual settings. To engage the public for Earth Month, OCWR worked with the Cube to develop a family-friendly booklet of activities that can be done while staying safe at home.
An online competition was held and promoted via social media to encourage recycling. The incentive was a family membership to the DCOC. A few of the photo entries are shown below.
