The Problem

The Green Team in our school is trying to educate our students and staff about the importance of protecting the environment by recycling more.

Plan of Action

First, we created and implemented the recycling program in our school with the help of The Green Team organization. We got recycle bins, which we placed around our school building. Second, we joined Plante Green to recycle ink cartridges to fundraise money for our school. Every time a person buys or recycles an ink cartridge, 15% of the sale is donated to our school. https://planetgreenrecycle.com/participants/index.php Our recycling program is an ongoing program. we have collected 923 plastic bottles and cans. We also have collected almost 2000 pounds of paper and cardboard.
