Why Implement School Recycling Project?

School recycling project is initiated by the schools and usually

focuses on three key areas:
better resource management;
cultivate student achievement;
reduction of waste.
Recycling is necessary to reduce waste in homes, schools and work
places. On average, each Brazilian generates about 1.152 kilo of
trash daily! That does not sound like much until you do the math.
That's half of a ton in just one year! Multiply that times many years
that person lives and the numbers are astounding.
It's easy to stick our heads in the sand, put the trash out to the curb
each week and have it taken away. Out of sight, out of mind.
