Call to Action!! North Carolina's recently passed budget eliminates the N.C. Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs, including the Environmental Educator Certification Program—a highly respected program that has trained many of NC's recycling program coordinators and environmental educators.

This office operates on a modest annual budget of just $275,000, and there may still be an opportunity to restore its funding.

The Environmental Educator Certification Program has helped equip professionals across North Carolina with the knowledge and skills to educate students and communities about recycling, waste reduction, and environmental stewardship. Its impact reaches far beyond the classroom and directly benefits our recycling industry and local communities.

Please contact your state legislators at https://www.ncleg.gov/FindYourLegislators and ask them to restore funding for the NC Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs. Every voice matters, and your support can help preserve this valuable resource for future generations.

Please write or call immediately as the legislature reconvenes Monday, July 27!
