Think Green, Think Blue

The Green Idea

The project:

5char

How we'll make it happen:

Clear, visibly divided recycling bin (divided into three categories; paper, plastic, cans) in the cafeteriaRecycling campaign in the school:o Video contest (students showing environmental spirit)o Classroom recycling contest (class with the lowest waste:recycling ratio)o Going from class to class to inform students of benefits acting now!

How it will positively impact the environment:

•Reduce waste of school•Reduce school's ecological footprint•Increase students awareness of recycling•Create long term habits in and out of school in terms of recycling ** NOTE ** The brief outline section will only allow me to type five characters. We will be purchasing the divided bluebin (~$800)

How we'll measure its success:

•Reduce in waste (especially from the cafeteria)• Increase in school's environmental awareness•Recycling program working and in place (we currently do not recycle as too much of the recycling bins are filled with waste).** For more information, please contact me at 647 - 295 8994 or dreambiglivebigger@live.com. **
