Andrew, 15
“Recycling a can is 20 times cheaper than
making a new one, so manufacturers are
happy to buy used ones. I've joined an eco
team which collects cans students usually
throw away and takes them to the nearest
recycling point. It's really cool! We've bought
three new basketballs with the money they've
given us for the used cans so far. Have you
ever volunteered for your community?”		  
Sheila, 12
“We've started a Waste Reduction Week at
our school. Today, we've removed the waste-
paperbins from all classrooms and the
headmaster has given each student a bag
where we must put all the litter we produce
during the day. At the end of the day, the
student with the smallest bag will get a prize!
So, let's get down to work!” 		Tony, 13
We've teamed up with other schools in
our area and we've formed eco teams.
We're trying to recycle as much paper
as possible. We've asked the local
council for extra recycling bins and
they've given us green flags to fly! It's a
good start but we haven't gone green
yet. We must keep working.”
Bettina, 14
“My team has designed recycling posters which encourage people to sort the paper,
glass and cans from their rubbish. We've also made a poster with the names and
addresses of phone and computer stores which take old mobiles and computers and
give them to people in poor countries or recycle them. Have you ever heard of that?”
