The litter audit is an opportunity for students to investigate and see first-hand the types of litter, if any, they find in their neighborhood. After the audit is complete, students can share their findings and use data to draw conclusions about common types of litter, where it comes from and what actions can be taken to prevent litter in the first place!

What does it look like to clean up litter in our communities? How can we prevent litter in the first place? Students can color this scene as they reflect on these questions.

Based on the 5-Step Action Based Learning Model, The Collective Action Steps: Stop Food Waste Action Project offers a guide for teachers, students and families to engage with food was prevention activities that help reduce and amount of food that is wasted in our homes and in our communities.

Partner with StopWaste to bring academic fun to your classroom and join our community of committed teachers and families continuing to take action in distance learning. Teachers, students, and families can follow the steps outlined in this guide to take action at home and in their communities.
