Crazy idea, but throw a Recycling concert! Contact some local popular bands in the area, tell them your cause, and get them to help put on a show and talk about recycling during their stage time.
People like concerts and what a better way to get people to understand than through music? Have some recycling information near the stage or back so people can check it out while listening. Put out some recycling trash-cans right in front of the stage.
Who knows, you could have such a good turn out that you get demands to do a recycling concert benefit every year. =]
Whatever you do, do it loud! And be proud that you care. A lot of people don’t. Good luck!
Give your answer to this question below!
Put out recycling bins in all the hallways that are decorated nicely, put up signs above the trash cans reminding that ANY paper can be recycled. Ask the cafeteria to put out extra bins for compost materials, to waste less. Propose that your school install motion sensors in all the class rooms so that when no one is in them, the lights turn off automatically. Have a “Green Day” once a week, have everyone turn off anything they aren’t using, turn off the sink, everyone can wear green.
