I just founded an environmental club??? I just founded an environmental club at my school and i need some ideas of what to talk about/do.

I was thinking about starting a recycling program for my school.

Any suggestions?

A good start would be to recycle water and juice bottles that don%26#039;t require a deposit. I see 1,000%26#039;s of them along the roadway and filling up your schools trash cans.

Hi

Good for you!

I am very much into recycling at home. I recycle paper, metal, glass, plastic, even left over and waste fod. This goes into my compost bin.

Birmingham CC, have an active recycling policy that collects the kind of stuff above and even garden waste like grass cuttings, branches, plants etc. They mulch this or compost it and sell it back as compost.


You could get your school kitchen to recycle the waste veg material (not meat) and compost that. You could have recycling bins placed in each classroom for waste paper, same for glass,metal etc.

If you need any further info, please do not hesitate to contact me.

PS. You can even have a wormery, now that is environmentally friendly!

Regards

attract members with a campaign that discusses how high MPG cars are more awesomely socially impressive than other cars; take the feeling of cars as conferring cool n tilt it towards high MPG cars being cooler

its challenging making a thing that suggests a hybrid or Geo is more socially attractive n awesome than a camaro but you can use a scheduled group discussion of that idea to attract members

recycling is highly beneficial but cities n utility districts will be communicating that to people throughout their lives; persuading teens that high MPG cars are awesome cars really will save resources

Starting a recycling program at your school is great idea. My school recently got one and the people in environmental club pick up the recycling from classrooms and stuff. Then, somebody takes the recycling to a center, and the club recieves a profit.
Also, look for an environmental group that does stuff in the city you live in. For example, my environmental club goes to cleanups organized by I Love a Clean San Diego.

Recycling would be a great start. Look into recycling products such as styrafoam especially. I think there are companies out there that can recycle these in more healthy ways then letting them degrade, which releases CFC%26#039;s. Do research on recycling plants and ways to make your school more green. Wal-Mart is a great resource since they have stores that use alternative methods for power and such. Get with your city to plant flowers, clean up parks, adopt a street, plant trees, make a park, have Earth Day fairs and get with the Elementary and Middle schools in the area. You would be surprised how much you can get the city and other schools involved. Make a compost place, so the cafeteria reduces the amount of waste going to the dump and it can be used to have a school greenhouse. If i think of more i will come back.

How would it be,to have the entire school recycle aluminum cans for a profit . With the proceeds purchase a wind generator to supply energy for your school. This project could possibly involve the entire community on a level that your school system could appreciate with future savings to the taxpayers. Start a grass roots movement. Good Luck
