Greenwich GCS has a recycling
program called Students to Oppose Pollution (S.T.O.P.).We
have boxes in every classroom from grades 7-12 in
which the students and teachers put their used
paper. Every Wednesday the science teacher and
students in grades 7-8 help her pick up the paper
from the classrooms, bring it to the science room,
and sort it. They take the paper and separate it
into different piles. Once the students sort them
they put it in a teacher’s car and she brings it to
a recycling center. After participating in S.T.O.P.
our local recycling program at Greenwich Central
School (GCS), I expected most of the recycled paper
products to be lined paper and notebooks; however I
found that the recycled paper product range is wide
and varying. S.T.O.P had a big affect in our
school, so we are now looking at other schools to
see whether or not they recycle.
