Congratulations!
You are on your way to making great
strides in helping us all secure a healthier and better future.
Did you know that recycling is
currently NOT required in schools nationwide. This means that the
responsibility falls into our hands. EPISD has therefore developed tips that
provide students with the tools and support to lead the effort to promote recycling
in their own schools. With the information included, you will have the building
blocks you need to start your own program.
The purpose of this recycling guide
is to increase awareness about the negative impact of human consumption on the
environment, and to inspire young people to start recycling programs within
their schools.
1. Start collecting
- Arrange bin placement location(s) with your school.
- Make signs as to what goes in which bin.
2. Spread the word! Promote your
program to other students. Be creative
- Make flyers and posters to hang
around school
- Make an announcement to the
student body
- Give a speech or presentation
during a school assembly
- Write an article for your
school newspaper
- Sponsor a recycling contest and
offer a prize to those who collect the most.
- Talk to relevant clubs at your
school (service or environmental)
Eagle Pass Junior High
has already incorporated the GO GREEN CONCEPT in their campus. Here are some great ways that they are bringing the topic to
life at EPJ.
EPJH students will have a presentation for their teachers on December 18th of 2015. EPJH students are extremely excited because they are going to be able to attend a city counseling hearing rewarding the recycle of plastic bags. EPJH is ready to make a change…..ARE YOU?
