DC Energy Office Sponsors Biomass, Recycling Training for Teachers

February 2005

On January 22 the DC Energy Office, in conjunction with the Office of Recycling, sponsored a training session for teachers on the subjects of biomass and recycling. Teachers used materials from the Project Learning Tree program, and were instructed on various recycling topics as well as the uses of biomass in America and the world.

The training was held at the Metro Center Marriott, in Washington, D.C., and featured instructors from the Office of Recycling. Teachers received free materials, door prizes, and information, and on completing the training, they received eight hours toward their continuing education.

This training session was made possible by a grant from the Southeastern Biomass state and regional partnership administered by the Southern States Energy Board for the U.S. Department of Energy.
