My Project

Students may think of recycling as a laborious job. If recycling was made a little more fun, students might be more inclined to participate. In their science classes, students are taught about limited resources and the importance of taking care of their environment. A recycling program may encourage them to instinctively think twice before throwing something into the garbage directly to be taken to the landfill.

In attempts to make recycling fun, a recycling club was started at the school.

The students began to think about how to raise awareness to the rest of the student body. They have been working to decorate collection bins, come up with ideas for contests, and create materials (posters and maybe commercials) to encourage others to participate.

By providing materials to create rewards to offer others students like buttons and fidgets, the club believes they can incite engagement. The club hopes to raise funds through recycling shoes and bottles and cans in order to support other efforts around campus or in their larger community.
