Wheelabrator's 2013 Symposium for Environment & Education

Proud members of a new "green" generation, 150 middle school students visited South Florida to present their sustainability projects to a panel of Wheelabrator partners at the 19th Annual Wheelabrator Symposium for Environment and Education held in April.
Under the guidance of local educators and employees from Wheelabrator Technologies, students from 15 middle schools in Florida, New England, and the Mid-Atlantic identified environmental issues in their community and then dedicated months of preparation and service to finding and implementing solutions. Expanding community recycling, protecting indigenous animals, developing greenhouses and replenishing shorelines are just a few of the endeavors.
Wheelabrator formed the Symposium program in 1994 to demonstrate that responsible environmental awareness must be grounded in fundamental science. Since then, more than 3,000 students have participated in the program. For nearly two decades, the Symposium has served as a key component of Wheelabrator's corporate social responsibility efforts.
Wheelabrator applauds the innovative environmental projects of our symposium students and salutes their commitment to achieving sustainability. Wheelabrator employees share with participating students the core value of environmental stewardship and we take great pride in providing this learning platform for our future scientific leaders.
