Paper*
Are you aware that our school has no recycling system? We waste pounds upon pounds of paper and cardboard products at school every day. The Everyday Heros need to band together and do something about this problem!
Here is the mission:
​
Sign this petition to get our school to adopt a recycling service. Spread the word about this issue, tell all of your friends to sign it. Be an Everyday Hero!
Here are some reasons why you need to act now!
28% of the solid trash in landfills is paper that can be recycled in most cases
America uses 70 million tons of paper and cardboard a year
When one ton of paper is recycled
-
17 trees
-
7000 gallons of water
-
380 gallons of oil
are conserved
Although it may seem like one person cannot affect such a large issue, your range of impact is a lot larger than you may think.
If you try to do one of the recommended tasks at least twice a week, not only will you save a lot of money and resources, you could also inspire others to do the same and make a very large impact on the environment together.
​
No problem is too large for those who are dedicated to creating change.
BE A HERO FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT!
