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. |
