T4T is dedicated to environmental awareness in education through creative reuse. By diverting unused materials from the manufacturing waste stream, we convert potential landfill into valuable resources. T4T materials encourage critical thinking and challenge children and teachers to find creative applications for non-traditional objects. T4T unifies children, parents, teachers, manufacturers, and environmentalists by developing sustainable systems of reuse that foster creativity in art and education.

The core of all T4T programs is our extensive inventory of open ended non-traditional materials that stimulate critical thinking and reinforce problem-solving skills. Our teachers and facilitators emphasize how students can help the environment while having fun as they envision and create their own individual works of art. As participants expand their capacity for creative expression, they also acquire values that inspire them to become life-long environmental stewards.
