Watch and share The Story of Cosmetics and tell Congress it’s time for SAFE cosmetics!

had to share…..

Trash for Teaching collects clean and safe cast-off materials from manufacturing processes (that would otherwise become trash) and repurposes them as educational resources.  With those materials they provide a comprehensive arts education program in local school districts, which includes teacher workshops and classroom instruction.  programs feature the popular Treasure Truck visit making  materials readily available to teachers and students in the schools, and helping to bridge the gap between the excess of waste created in manufacturing processes and the lack of materials in public education.

Use of our unique materials encourages critical thinking and fuels the imagination by challenging children and teachers to find creative applications for non-traditional objects; these materials offer equally creative applications in all subjects. Our ultimate goal is to unify all community sectors, from children, parents, and teachers to manufacturers, artists and environmentalists by developing sustainable reuse systems that foster creativity in education.
