The last time I wrote a blog and I spoke about how our recycling committee at school was doing an amazing job doing their part for the environment. Unfortunately, when school restarted the city refused to pick up the recycling, thus placing us in the same position as we started at the beginning of last year. The city refused to pick it because it was inconvenient and not on their pick-up plan. All the heard work that we did last year was wasted. We are trying especially hard to restart the recyc… Continue

It's been a long time since I've updated everyone on a project of mine, turning my school green.
Our "Green Committee" has managed to go from a small group of kids to a large group of passionate people.

Unfortunately we don't have enough money to get bins for our cafeteria, which is, of course, where we produce the most recycling.

My school is one of the many schools that do not do its part for the environment. Simple things such as recycling bins are only supposed to be used for paper. We use TONS of paper in our school and of course almost none of it is recycled paper. The lights we use in our school are nylon lights... (the long light bulbs which give off horrible lighting) and many of our windows, such as in our gym, are broken, so we're using more energy to warm up our school because we're wasting so much of it. The… Continue
