First we would like to place 7 recycling bins throughout the school, with at least one in every hallway. Each recycling bin would cost $49, so 7 recycling bins would be a total of $343. This is not a very large sum of money to help the environment. We then, with your permission, would like to present a video on the morning announcements that will raise awareness about placing materials in the correct bin. The video will show that the janitors have to throw away all of the materials in a recycling bin if trash is placed in there.
 * Action Plan**

When we interviewed Mr. Payne we found out that if trash is put into recycling bins, everything must be thrown away. From our poll that we created, we found that many students really want to recycle but sometimes there aren't any recycling bins near by so they just throw it in the trash. Also from some government recycling we got ideas for ways improve recycling in school.
