The Problem
Recycling in my school is a problem. We do not recycle in the cafeteria, we do not recycle in the classrooms. 30% of all government buildings in NYC are schools, so we have a huge impact on the way materials are discarded in NYC. We have a great role to play in contributing to the Zero Waste campaign espoused by the NYC DOS. With the help of new green colored recycling bins to designate paper recycling, we will launch a campaign to create awareness in the school community about what to recycle in the classroom.
