ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

Keep Florida Beautiful and the KAB Florida affiliates have a critical role in building an environmentally literate society: a society that not only demonstrates environmental stewardship, but understands why it is important.

There are different types of environmental education, various locations where it can be conducted and a range of audiences that can be addressed. Service orientated cleanups and local stewardship projects including gardens and beautification projects engage youth and adults through action. These programs provide organized opportunities for civic engagement, help students secure volunteer hours for Bright Futures Scholarships, and promote physical activity outdoors.

Keep Florida Beautiful also encourages participation in a variety of school programs including recycling competition and learning basic fundamentals. Keep America Beautiful’s “Waste in Place” K-6 curriculum is one tool for teaching those fundamentals such as waste reduction, waste management and stewardship.
