Along with litter pickup activities and a strong emphasis on recycling, the EYC program in this region places an important emphasis on the environmental education of its crew members.
Participants will take part in discussions, projects and inter-crew competitions on environmental issues such as waste reduction, pollution, energy and water conservation, biodiversity, and sustainability.
Tours will be led to Spokane's Waste-to-Energy plant, as well as, fish hatcheries, recycling centers, aluminum can smelters, or other places of environmental significance. Some crews may spend time working at the recycling center or delivering an anti-litter message to the general public at fairs, parks, or rest areas.
