Child Care Links is a nonprofit daycare agency that provides families across the Alameda County with quality daycare and other necessities such as diapers. Local Leaders had the pleasure of speaking to childcare providers as well as community members about the MRO, the specifics of sorting waste, and the relevance to children. Our presentation evolved into a conversation with our audience about far-ranging topics: from differences in waste disposal across the Alameda County to new restrictions on accepted waste due to international relations. Interacting directly with the community members gave us a clearer picture of what we needed to do to make waste separation more accessible. It was also really exciting to hear that many residents already separated their waste, and that they hoped to encourage the children they cared for to do the same.
The idea that children are next generation’s leaders, they should understand the fundamentals of waste management came up again and again in our discussion. Several community members said that they had been separating waste for as long as they lived in their home cities, and it had become almost like second nature. We hope that by educating the community youth and building these habits from an early age, we can better our communities as well.

The journalism small group is so productive, and it actually feels like you are doing something. You have so many opportunities to collaborate with people you probably would not have met otherwise. I have made so many friends in this small group, and club meetings are always entertaining.
