Production, Consumption & Waste
Target 1
Create a Recycling Committee:
Form a small team within the Eco Club to plan and oversee the recycling program. Include teachers, students, and staff members to ensure broad support.
Assess Current Waste Practices:
Conduct a waste audit to determine what types of waste the school produces most frequently (paper, plastic, food waste, etc.) and identify areas where recycling could reduce waste.
Set clear, measurable targets for the program (e.g., reduce waste sent to landfills by 30% in the first year, or collect a certain amount of recyclables each month).
