One of the educational offerings of the Resourceful
Schools Project explores how the economy and the environment
work together. Through a game activity, learners model two scenarios,
one that includes manufacturing from raw materials and one where
the manufacturers use recycled content. Our game is constructed
as an ideal situation where by using recycled content everybody
wins.
Most manufacturers of recycled content goods would tell you that
working with fluctuating markets and ever-changing supply and demand
can be complex and challenging. As a part of our student packet
we include some local examples of successful business enterprises
that strive to "Close the Loop".
