EDUCATION: Identify different educational tools such as seminars, posters, emails, local media coverage, etc to facilitate better understanding and knowledge about value of trash and recycling.
OUTREACH: Partner with organizations currently working on waste and pollution reduction.

Create and implement at least one bilingual outreach initiative in 2009 to reach out to stakeholders on this issue.
ADVOCACY: Lobby the city to install Big Bellies bin and public recycling containers in downtown.
