Arizona Association
for Environmental
Education
AAEE is a nonprofit
organization working to
enhance the quality of
environmental
education in Arizona
and to advance
professionalism among
all who are involved
with environmental
education, whatever the
topic or setting.
There's a New Way to
Support the Arizona
Association for
Environmental
Education! What if
AAEE earned a penny
every time you
searched the Internet?
Well, now we can!
GoodSearch.com is a
new search engine that
donates ad revenue,
about a penny per
search, to the charity its
users designate. Use it
just like any search
engine, and it's
powered by Yahoo!, so
you get the same great

Earth 911
It is the mission of Earth
911 to empower the
public with community-
specific resources to
improve their quality of
life. While sustainable
prevention programs
are by far the best way
to protect our nation’s
environment, the costs
associated with many of
these programs can be
astronomical. That is
why the use of this
Public and Private
Sector Partnership is so
important in
effectuating prevention
ideals. Through the
Partnership, economies
of scale and scope are
achieved, promoting
this public service
across the nation and
centralizing
environmental
resources into one user-
friendly network.
Valleywide Recycling
Partnership
In the valley, we're
faced with the problem
of dwindling landfill
space and increasing
costs of operating new
landfills. Federal
government guidelines
protecting groundwater,
equipment needed to
reduce the dangers
associated with landfill
methane gas, rising
transportation costs
and other necessary
environmental
guidelines have caused
garbage collection and
disposal fees to
increase dramatically.
More than half of what
we throw away can be
recycled. Recycling
helps conserve landfill
space, preserve natural
resources and control
rising waste disposal
costs.
