Steel Recycling Education Program to be Highlighted at Summer Camps Across the Country

The Steel Recycling Institute (SRI), Automotive Applications Committee and ASM International are again working together to provide the SRI's SteelCycles education program to more than 600 students in summer camps in 15 states this summer.

The SteelCycles education program is a standards-based environmental education program spanning grades pre-k through grade 12. This is the second year of this collaboration between the groups, which has nearly doubled in size since last year. All components of SteelCycles have undergone teacher/classroom testing, and the program has been designated "Best in Practice: Environmental Education" by the National Recycling Coalition.

The SteelCycles program is being revamped to be brought into line with No Child Left Behind educational standard requirements and will be re-launched in the fall of 2008. For more information on the program, visit http://www.recycle-steel.org/education.html or contact Jim Woods.
