Schools teach students and students do a lot of writing, so they use a lot of paper. Here is an idea for anyone who wants to get active in helping the environment. Organize with your school to recycle paper, put a box in every classroom for paper only.

Tons of paper is used in schools across the country every week, save trees and recycle at your school.

My project is simple but the results are much needed. If I receive the Do Something Grant I am going to organize a group of children within my community who want to see trash eliminated from our community streets and yards and Recycle it. The majority population of my neighborhood is African-American and I would like to show that we respect and maintain our communities too! I was recently told to be the change that I would like to see in the world. Therefore, I will take initiative and allocate two weekends where we will collect and recycle as much trash as we can.
