(Berkeley, CA) May 2, 2007—
Habitot's popular Recycling Center exhibit returns to help children learn about the world through play and imagination on Wednesday, May 2.  Children can sort and classify bottles, cans and newspapers (in friendly foam shapes) and fill dumpsters and bins with recyclables. These activities support early math and science concepts. Parents and caregivers will be able to pick up information about recycling and reuse and reducing our impact on the environment.  

The Recycling Center exhibit runs through October with a special FREE Admission Day celebrating ecology on Friday, August 24 from 9:30 am – 1:00 pm.  The return of the Recycling Center exhibit and Free Admission Day are supported by a grant from Waste Management.
