Environmental Education Information Keep Nebraska Beautiful is committed to providing environmental education to students and adults. Our efforts focus primarily in proper solid waste management including reducing, reusing, recycling and buying recycled. We encourage the use of the Keep America Beautiful curricula: Waste In Place (grades K-6) and Waste: A Hidden Resource (grades 7-12). Please check out Keep America Beautiful's new web interactive Clean Sweep USA activities. Teacher workshops are offered periodically.
Household Hazardous Waste Hazardous chemical products can be found in almost every home in Nebraska. Such products include antifreeze, bug spray, glue, motor oil, and solvents. A substance is leveled as hazardous if it can catch fire, if it will react or explode when mixed with other substances, or if it is corrosive or toxic. Take a look around your home or garage and you'll find many hazardous substances. They may seem harmless sitting on the shelf or being used properly, but they can be harmful to humans, our pets, the land in which we grow our food, and the water for drinking and bathing.
