Lago High School Green Club

I have realized that even though I am only one person, I have a huge and often times detrimental impact on the environment. Although, I occasionally recycle bottles and cans at my home, the HHW project gives me an opportunity to turn a simple and seemingly insignificant effort, into a large scale community project. I specifically chose this project because I wanted to take part in the effort to decrease our need for landfills and other methods of mass trash disposal.

On October 21,2016, a group of students challenged the ASB/Leadership groups on campus to the beautification of Chino Hills High School on Husky Highlights in front of the entire school community. ASB and Leadership being the dedicated groups that they are accepted the challenge from the group of students on beautification of the campus. Chino Hills High School is a great school with an even more beautiful campus. However, some of our Husky students tend to leave their trash around. Students in different clubs and organizations have come to notice this and knew they had to do something about it. Students took action and awesomely decided to pick up trash and beautify the campus and featured it on Husky Highlights. To keep this movement going,

The purposes of this report are: (1) To determine the Sun Coast University campus community’s awareness of the recycling program and (2) To recommend ways to increase participation in the program. Sun Coast’s recycling program was intended to respond to the increasing problem of waste disposal, as well as to fulfill it’s social and legal responsibility as an educational institution.

Pollution is an issue that could potentially cause damage and recycling conveys an important role. An issue we currently phase is trash segregation, students aren’t recycling or separating trash as they should. As mentioned earlier, mindset is just as important as action - they have careless, ignorant mentalities. What my project proposes, are two main part the action and the mentality transformation. The action idea is to develop as community service recicle trashcans with that from the outside look the same as what its entering in them, an example could be a trash can full that physically look like a plastic bottle, so students only troth there there plastic

Becoming environmentally friendly or going green may seem like the latest fad, but this new fad does create a variety of benefits. Applying an electronic recycling program to Bellarmine University creates a healthier environment for students, faculty, staff, and even community members. It would suggest that Bellarmine University is a leader in social change, and a promoter of public and environmental health. This campaign is designed to promote an electronic recycling program at Bellarmine University, by using a theoretical framework of Social Identity Theory, creating incentives for participation and using digital components.

Being that I was on the board of Key Club at our school, an international service organization dedicated to serving and helping the surrounding community and the world, I established a meeting with the rest of the board of the club to collaborate a plan on what we could do to help. We decided to talk to administration at Boylan in order to get approval so that we could go along with our plan to get recycle bins throughout the school. Key Club held bake sales and other fundraisers to raise money in order to purchase the recycle bins. After we raised enough money, we were able to get recycle bins in every classroom in our school. It was a success! Now students actively recycle there used, recyclable items everyday. Other Key Club members, board officers, and I empty the recycle bins from each classroom every Friday after school ends for approximately an hour. Even though we do not get to join the rest of the students who are free to get out of school right away at 3:05 p.m. every Friday afternoon, we are making a difference in the school, community, and world with all of our hard work. Our next step within this upcoming school year is to raise enough money to purchase recycle bins for the cafeteria also! I cannot believe how much we have achieved through such a small idea, but I also cannot wait to see how we can change our school to be more

College campuses across the nation have taken action to participate in the Reduce, Recycle and Reuse initiative to help make their campus a better and more environmentally safe. The program encourages recycling in communities, schools and work place. Through this proposal I plan to implement the program “Let’s Go Green” at Savannah State University. This program would challenge the faculty, students and the university itself to implement eco-friendly activities into day to day operations or everyday lives.

The two main ways that we will engage with students is through a workshop with UCLA Residential Life’s Team Green on the Hill and a booth at the Earth Day Fair. Team Green is a student leadership program that encourages residents in the dormitories to make sustainable lifestyle choices through education, community involvement, and advocacy. By interacting with Team Green Hill Government Representatives, the Housing Team has the potential to impact a large number of students on the Hill. These student leaders organize programs for dormitory residents and have influence within their communities. The Earth Day Fair is another method for spreading awareness to students. The Housing Team hopes to acquire some free samples of green office supplies to give away during the Earth Day

Many people go through their day not even thinking about recycling and what it can do for our environment. We, the school, could absolutely benefit from a recycling program. So many people think that recycling is a waste of time and how the energy it takes to recycle is equal to the amount it takes to simply throw your trash away. They don’t actually think about the positive effects it could have to the school. This is why putting a recycling program in Mount Juliet High School can not only help our environment as a whole, but can also help us see the reality of what recycling can do.

summary and evaluation of our campaign to increase campus recycling that we ran the previous

With programs such as this one, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that Americans have managed to recycle and compost about 34.5% of our waste (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2014). This is a significant increase of recycling and it has played a huge role in making our environment healthier. In Las Vegas, we produce millions of tons of waste and programs such as the Rebel Recycling Program helps dramatically reduce the amount of recyclable waste we send to our landfills. After major events, thousands of bottles are left behind after people have gone home, and the Rebel Recycling crew and their volunteers go row by row and pick up as many recyclables as they can. Because such large events create a lot of trash, sorting out the recyclables from the trash can make a huge impact in our environment. This program not only helps out the community by

Here, I asked the members of the club to bring cardboard boxes, after we didn’t receive funding for recycling containers. In a meeting, we decorated the boxes, and then asked teachers, if they would like to participate by having a box in their classroom. Now we have over 25 recycling locations in the school including the library, office, and multiple classrooms. Through this program, Lynwood High School has been able to reduce its carbon footprint.

recycling campaign. The only way to do that is to help make recycling appeal to more of the vast student population that currently attends our University. How might this be done? The University already places a recycling bin in every dorm room around the campus; anything more would exceed the current funding for the recycling project. Perhaps the institution of a recycling center at the Russell House could cause the impulse to become a habit. But, that would take too much money--with the salaries of workers and the annexing of what would amount to a new wing of the building--to consider for too long. Another solution could be to have the students elect a "recycling committee" to evaluate the problem and decide on the appropriate solution. However, I feel that with the current lull in our recycling campaign, even that would be ineffective. As an altrenative to these two solutions I propose that we, as students and faculty united, institute a plan that is so simple it is already in place in many of the high schools around the state. I propose a system of rewards.

Imagine walking down a forest path, feeling the crisp fall breeze, hearing the birds chirping, breathing in the fresh air. The earth's environment is wonderful and as stewards of this plant, it is every human's job to protect and even enhance its beauty. Dumping incinerated garbage into a hole in the Earth is not exactly being a good steward. However, science has developed the technology of recycling, and people should use this blessing as readily as possible. In other words, everyone should recycle, and if they won't do it on their own, recycling should become a requirement. Recycling should be mandatory because it helps minimize pollution, conserve energy, preserve natural resources, and create jobs.

Have you ever engaged in outdoor activities and seen excessive waste? or maybe you seen enormous amounts of debris in the ocean; that made you disgusted with our community. Today we tend to ignore the positive effects recycling has on our environment. Think about the harm we bring to our natural environment and habitat destructions. The harmful chemical and greenhouse gasses that are released from landfill sites; polluting our air. We begin to see recycling signs more often; in schools, at work and our community. But most ignore the meaning of recycling, we don’t consider recycling a mandatory requirement. Efficient and effective recycling starts with us, it requires the participation from us as a community. To maintain a healthy and clean
