i want to have a environmental club in my school? HELP!!!!?

Question

ok before summer me and one of my friends found out that our school does not recycle white paper..they only recycle news paper but we use a lot lot lot of white paper which goes in the trash instead of being recycled. i called the recycle company and found out that they would gladely take the white paper with the news paper as long as we put it out with the news paper. the ESC kids do the news paper and the teacher said she might be able to help us. we have about 135 rooms excluding bathrooms,generator closets and store rooms. i need to raise enough money to buy bins for the paper and flyers for students and teachers. Also i need people to help me and i dont know how to recruit people. HELP PLZ. i think i have a sponser because before summer my environmental science teacher said that she would be happy to help us but our school unfortuantly does not give clubs start up money they have to get it them self's by fund raisers and all but right now i am only one person and cant do it. alone

please help, give me any ideas any thing would work..i really really want to do this....

Answer 1

Start small. Recruit people by posting signs around school, making flyers on the blank side of used paper and reusing other materials to make it decorative. I'm sure the teacher who's willing to help would brainstorm with you.


Consider getting several larger containers - maybe wheeled trash cans - for some larger rooms or even just study halls or the library (think of all the wasted paper when people's photocopies don't come out right). This could be your "pilot program" and you can do fundraising through the year including car washes (wash with biodegradable soaps like Simple Green), bake sales, etc. Sounds like a fun and worthwhile activity - good luck!

Answer 2

Awesome! You might positioned out a record of goods containing components which might be unsafe to the atmosphere (ie palm tree oil is dangerous for the atmosphere). You might additionally distribute a record of inexperienced merchandise, or merchandise that don't scan on animals (shampoos, soaps, and hair presents scan on animals- Tresemme is a manufacturer that doesn't). You might additionally do/advertise inexperienced tasks, like making furnishings or garments from recycled merchandise. You might advertise utilising re-usable water bottles (probably promote a few that experience the institution identify on them) or uncover figures approximately the volume of plastic within the atmosphere. Also get persons to show water off while brushing tooth, flip off lighting fixtures while leaving the room, calculate carbon imprint on-line, and so forth. I desire this is helping!

Find an airconditioned classroom and everyone gets a ride home in an SUV.
