What do homemade dog toys, the edges of plastic lids, and composting have in common?

They’re all part of Euclid Middle School’s Eco Fair!

8th grade environmental science students partnered with the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance to rethink their rubbish and turn trash into treasure. From trivia games about the 5 Rs, ring toss made from recycled items, a compost-fueled plant growth experiment, to a station where you can make a dog toy out of an old t-shirt, these Falcons brought creativity and conservation together in the most inspiring way!

Even better? The candy prizes were saved from the landfill thanks to a donation from the Zoo’s Boo at the Zoo event.

Which Eco Fair idea would you want to try in your school or home?
