E Pluribus Recycles! Play:
*** School Education Program*** This fun, interactive play is designed for students in Kindergarten through 4th Grades.

Starring E Pluribus Pack Rat, alongside Mark Parker the Landfill Environmental Engineer, the E Pluribus Recycles! Play reinforces the need to preserve landfill space by Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling the "garbage" that we produce, rather than throwing everything away. This program also highlights student awareness of recycling options that are available in the Tucson area (curbside, neighborhood recycling centers, landfill recycling drop-off). Performances are available free of charge to any elementary school within the Tucson area.

The E Pluribus Recycles! Play is sponsored by the City of Tucson and Pima County, with additional benefactor support from the Southern Arizona Environmental Management Society. For more information or to arrange a show for your school, call the Tucson Recycles Info Line, at 791-5000 or email tcb@tucsonaz.gov.

The Trees for Tucson program also offers presentations and tree planting programs geared toward school-aged students.
