RECYCLE-RAMA PROMOTES RECYCLING EDUCATION IN
LOCAL SCHOOLS
February 4, 2004
Picture if you will an interactive musical game show with clever and original
questions regarding waste reduction, and a cast of characters dancing
to urban rhythms among a flashy set and colorful costumes.
This is just a small excerpt from the Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority’s
school assembly program that was produced to show students how waste reduction
and recycling are linked to resource recovery.
“Recycle-Rama”, a 25-minute, highly-interactive and informative
program will premier on February 6, 2004 at Mission Park School in Salinas
with two shows at 10:15 and 11:00 a.m.
The Authority has implemented visual and oral recognition practices to
spread the message. Much like the events one sees on Nickelodeon, the
students are encouraged to answer questions related to facts they learned
earlier in the show as well as use tactile props to instill the correlation
between reusable and recycled products.
According to Alan Styles, Recycling/Hazardous Materials Specialist for
the Authority, “The show is not your ordinary assembly by any stretch
of the imagination. It is bells, whistles, music and laughter all rolled
up into an exercise of education through entertainment, otherwise knows
as edu-tainment.”
Styles continues, “Recycle-Rama is for audiences of all ages, so
join the fun as the Authority jumpstarts our youth to get ‘em involved
and excited about recycling.”
You may request the Recyle-Rama Game Show at your school by contacting
the Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority office at 755-1300 or request
a show on the website at www.svswa.org and click on “Show Page”.
The Authority, formed in 1997, is a joint powers agency made up of
the cities of Gonzales, Greenfield, King City, Salinas, Soledad as well
as the eastern half of unincorporated Monterey County. They promote the
environmental health of the Salinas Valley through planning, public education
and management of an innovative solid waste system. The Authority can
be reached at 755-1300 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday – Friday or
on the web at www.svswa.org.
