The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $1,746,339 Project Grant under the Reduce, Reuse, Recycling Education and Outreach (REO) Grants program (CFDA 66.921) to Edventure Inc., a non-profit children's museum, to create interactive museum exhibits featuring dinosaurs made from recycled and repurposed materials. The purpose is to educate families and children about better recycling habits, including reusing, remanufacturing, and working toward a circular economy. The grant funds the design and construction of two such exhibits - one in Columbia, SC and another in Myrtle Beach, SC. Once the exhibits are open, Edventure and its advisory group will teach visitors, particularly children and families, about preventing and reducing waste by choosing to reuse, repair, or remanufacture materials rather than disposing them. The anticipated outcomes include increased participation in recycling or composting programs and lower contamination in the waste stream in the local communities, as well as the creation of two new jobs at Edventure due to increased attendance and visitor time at the museum.
