We started our project on recycling. So far so good! For our project we are going to go the four elementary schools and speak to the fifth graders about recycling. Our plan is to create a competition between the four schools. In this competition each month we will give the fifth graders a different recyclable item to bring into school and collect. At the end of the month we will collect the item, recycle it, and determine who had the highest collection average- this way they will gain points. By June we will tally the scores/points for each school and determine a winner. They will then get a prize from a sponsor who we hope to get soon.
So far we are doing well and our main goal right now is to get the permition from the principals at the elementary schools. We are enthusiastic about teaching children and helping our environment. It is easy to recycle and you can do it without our group’s help. Get a recycling bin from your town and find out the days the garbage collects the different recycleable items. Then when you are going to throw out a piece of paper in the regular garbage, take the extra step to recycle the item by placing it in the bin. Each extra step will help save the environment.
We will keep you updated on the rest of our progress in helping to improve our environment. Just remember we save the world, one hybrid at a time. =)
