Sección escolar de PRRP

El PRRP ha desarrollado esta "Sección escolar," centrada en la comunidad de Vieques y en la Asociación de Reciclaje de Vieques (VRP).  La información educativa en esta página está destinada a los estudiantes y al público. Vieques, una comunidad piloto del PRRP ofrecerá este semestre un currículo escolar innovador centrado en los asuntos ambientales.  El VRP fomenta que estudiantes de Vieques de todas las edades aprendan sobre los temas del manejo de desperdicios sólidos en un nivel local, regional y global y que se involucren en su comunidad local.

La lista siguiente tiene ocho equipos principales, cada uno enfocado en un componente específico del manejo de desperdicios sólidos, así como herramientas de investigación que le ayuden a aprender más sobre cada uno.

Algunos recursos sólo están disponibles en inglés.  Para más información o ayuda con el inglés, por favor contacte a Stephanie Anderson-Morales a [email protected].      

Tome en cuenta que nuestra lista de enlaces y documentos está en desarrollo.  
Por favor, ¡vuelva regularmente para más información!
