Hmong YES trained a youth group of 28 teens to educate their elders about waste and toxicity reduction issues. Teens met with 150 families and friends one-on-one to educate them about recycling and survey them about their waste reduction practices. Waste reduction information was also disseminated to 200 people at an event at the state capitol. 50 youth were educated about waste reduction and recycling through their Summer Reading Program and 100 youth through a presentation at Como Elementary School.
