Recycling in the workplace and schools!
I don't know about everyone else but my tertiary education provider has just one recylcing bin. Which no-one in my class uses because its on the oppisite side of the school.
**Lets encourage recycling in our workplaces and schools! **
Ask to have recycling bins avaliable for paper and plastic and for them to be in conviniant user friendly locations so that they are utilised!

Recycling in the workplace and schools!
When I was teaching there were recycling containers in every classroom. Toward the end of the day students took them over to the main recycling bin. Unfortunately a certain proportion of students refused to separate plastics, food and paper dumping everything in whatever bin was closest, if not on the floor as the same students had the view that the school paid cleaners so let them clean up the rubbish. Teachers had to be constantly on it to keep the system working. It would probably have worked better were the students keeping each other up to the mark but few did. Perhaps students are getting more sensitive to the issues?

Students more sensitive to recycling?
Hi Noel,
I'm glad to hear your school tried to encourage recycling :)
Also I would hope that sudents are becoming more sensitive to recycling but I'm not sure weather they are. It just upset me how much paper was going straight into the rubish bin when we cleared out our lockers at the end of this year. I don't want to see that happen again next year- thats why I posted this idea :)
