Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Please help our "Women in STEM" Club with their recycling project. We know that waste management and recycling are important topics that have to be discussed with students and staff at schools since they produce an enormous amount of waste including paper, electronics, and food.

We want to give students and teachers the possiblity to practice good recycling habits by providing them with appropriate recycling bins and some larger trash cans with which students can collect and dispose of the collected materials.

About 25% of school waste is recyclable paper and 50% is food waste and non-recyclable paper that can be composted. So, since school waste is up to 80% recyclable, schools make a huge impact when they recycle. There are so many good reasons to educate our students and staff about recycling. Recycling is way cheaper than trash disposal, so it helps save the environment AND all of our budget! Moreover, when schools recycle they help to reduce fossil fuel usage, conserve resources, and help create local jobs.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
