This past week, I met with 2 of the 3 elementary schools that I'm partnering with to design recycle bins. On Monday I met with 3 fifth graders at Glen View and on Tuesday I met with 2 sixth graders at I.A. Lewis. All of the students are excited about the project and had great ideas to contribute.
I asked the students at Glen View two questions:
Why is recycling important?
"I don't want all of the millions of tons of trash to go in to a landfill and waste all of the space on the earth that we can't spare."
"To save the world from destruction of debris."
"I think recycling helps to protect the Earth, which protects everyone on it."
Why do you want to help with this project?
"I want to help to let the whole work know how important recycling is. Since I can't inform 6 billion people, we can just put recycle bins in noticeable locations."
"It will start a tradition like thing. I can help with the building part."
"I want to help because my family recycles and I think I might have some ideas that can improve the bins and make them more eco-friendly."
The students at Glen View would like to move their future recycling bins to a more convenient location for the public to use.
I'm excited about working with all of the students. I plan to meet again with them in January to show them the progress that I've made on the bins.

Maybe you can get the kids involved in your whole project. Show them what else you are doing. And maybe a little youtube of them talking about their ideas with recylcing.
