The Problem
We wish to implement a recycling system for paper waste in our school. The reason why we wish to work upon this type of waste is because our classrooms are constantly using paper as a means to teach our students. Handouts and lessons that are no longer needed are typically thrown into the trash since there is no other method to getting rid of it. Apart from this, we also wish to recycle markers inside classrooms. Considering most of our teachers use whiteboards and poster paper for their lesson plans, dried out markers are frequently seen inside trash bins. Most of white board and permanent markers contain Xylene, a petroleum product that when hen inhaled it is absorbed into your bloodstream and can cause headaches, nausea and dizziness. Because of these worrisome effects, we wish to properly dispose of them.
