We believe that the unnecessary use of plastic and failing to recycle and recover it is an extremely serious environmental problem. Schools must make sure that the students get in contact with the basic principles of consumer education and environmental awareness, and there is a lot to do in our school in this area.
For these reasons we are going to ask the school board to help us make the following changes:
- Making recycling bins for plastics, paper and glass available in the hall, the canteen area and in some strategic points of the corridors. The Art and Visual Education Department of our school has offered to customize and adapt some of the bins we already have. 
- Making the containers for bottle lids and batteries more visible, and reminding all our students of the convenience and importance of using them.
- Asking the school cleaning staff to to deposit the waste from the different recycling bins in the appropriate container outside the school and making this task as easy as possible for them.
- Making a compost bucket available by the canteen and providing enough composters to turn that organic waste into compost for the soil of the school vegetable garden.
- Carrying out an information and awareness-raising campaign about the need to reduce the use of plastic and recycle all types of materials conveniently.
- Trying to reduce the use of non reusable plastic bottles replacing them with reusable bottles, which may involve improving the quality of the water from the tap.
