Description

An ongoing objective of the Metro Waste Authority is to reeducate businesses and consumers in how to identify and deal with waste. For this report, we translated old-fashioned flash cards into an appropriate device for sharing, communication, and learning about MWA services and goals. The reports were distributed with preaddressed envelopes. Recipients were urged to forward the cards to a local school after reading the report. Nearly 80% did.
