Welcome!
The WSU Snohomish County Extension Environment and Community Outreach (ECO) team is proud to promote cultural diversity by offering educational and volunteer opportunities in Spanish.
Who are the Ambassadors (Promotores) of the Environment?
The Ambassadors of the Environment are volunteers with WSU Snohomish County Extension trained to educate Latinx/Hispanic families and communities how to care for our natural environment so we can all enjoy a clean, healthy, and safe world.
What kind of volunteering do the Ambassadors do?
Ambassadors educate groups on topics including solid waste, recycling, hazardous materials and safe alternatives to cleaning chemicals. They also help manage food waste at events by setting up sorting stations for garbage, recycling, and compost.
How can you take care of our environment?
Reduce your consumption of goods by making fewer purchases, reuse items you already have, and recycle.
-
- Take reusable bags with you when you shop.
- Put your food scraps in the yard waste bin or make your own compost.
- Take the hazardous materials you no longer use to the Everett hazardous materials disposal facility – it’s free!
- Start making and using your own green/ecological cleaning products – here are some recipes!
- Share a car, use public transport or use a bicycle when possible – that way you will be helping to combat climate change !
