Recycle on the Run

An Interactive Recycling Education Program that Gets Youth Moving

Recycle on the Run is an obstacle course that blends the physical activity of football along with key environmental concepts or “brain teasers”. Participants will have their football skills tested while also testing their “green IQ” by answering questions and hitting football targets that enter our landfill. This fun-filled activity promotes active play while promoting behavioral change in their recycling habits.

Target Audience: Middle to High School (can be adapted for many age groups)

Audience Size: 50 – 500

Duration: 1 -3 hours

Problem

US recycling levels are currently at 21.4% according to a study by the EPA. In less than 15 years worldwide waste is expected to double.

Theory of Change

We know that kids love to learn when they are participating in active play. The Ovie Mughelli ROR activity works to simplify recycling and other environmental concepts to an unengaged or largely under-served audience so that they can become excited about it to create behavioral change.
