Projects
Frustrated by the lack of recycling in New York City schools, we started organizing to bring attention to this irresponsible practice. In 2007, we began holding meetings with teachers and parents, calling for stepped up recycling efforts across NYC. These meetings helped bring about a hearing on June 3, 2008 where our City’s students and teachers spoke out about the need for the Department of Education and Sanitation leadership to support school recycling. We believe recycling is the first step toward greening our City’s schools. We also aim to green our schools in other ways, such as reducing our schools’ waste stream by eliminating the use of Styrofoam trays.
Be Cool. Recycle at school!
