Envirolution staff and board members would like to Envirolution staff and board members would like to thank Leigh Metcalfe for all the hard work and dedication she has poured into making Project ReCharge a robust and successful program. Leigh is a veteran Project ReCharge teacher who has worked with the program from the very beginning.

Envirolution's very own Marketing and Design Coord Envirolution's very own Marketing and Design Coordinator, Chaja, shows us how she reduces her plastic use by using reusable shopping bags! Her tip: "I like to use the bags that fold up into tiny packages so that I can always keep them in my purse, and I have one with me even when I didn't plan to go to the store!" Reusable bags reduce the amount of plastic that end up in landfills and waterways but also helps to protect wildlife and prevent harmful chemicals from leaching into our environment! Next time you get asked for paper or plastic at the grocery store - let's chose the best option and bring a reusable bag. #Envirolution #plasticfreejuly
That's a wrap! Today we finished our in-person pro That's a wrap! Today we finished our in-person professional learning teacher training. We welcomed 18 new teachers from 7 different school districts all throughout Nevada. We had teachers join us all the way from Elko and Las Vegas! To be able to see the excitement on their faces and have a conversation in real life was something we were all so grateful for. This group of teachers was truly wonderful; their passion, engagement, and dedication to STEAM and sustainability made this training so much fun! Participating teachers will also receive over $2,000 in hands-on materials to take to their classroom and students. We can't wait to see these teachers bring the Project ReCharge curriculum to their classrooms and inspire and empower the next generation of sustainability leaders! We would like Desert Research Institute and @nvenergy foundation for their help in making this possible! Also thank you to @greatfullgardens, @wildislandnv, and @yogurtbeachreno for providing these teachers with awesome raffle prizes! #DRI #nvenergy #nvenergyfoundation #ProfessionalLearning #ProfessionalDevelopment #Teachers #training
