2. The average person generates over 4 EUR of trash every day and about 1.5 tons of solid
waste per year. In 2009 only Americans produced enough trash to circle the Earth 24 times.
Over 75% of waste is recyclable, but we only recycle about 30% of it. We generate 21.5
million tons of food waste each year. If we composted that food, it would reduce the same
amount of greenhouse gas as taking 2 million cars off the road. All the people throw away
125,000,000 plastic bottles every hour. Those facts show us how important recycling is,
especially for us in Montenegro, as a little country, where we don't have a space for so much
trash. As we are now in 2013, and we do not recycle anything, we have to start thinking
about this as soon as possible. That's why we think this as a future job and bellow we are
describing how we imagined the perfect education for all citizens of Montenegro, and how we
planed to change awareness of all people here.

3. Our major idea is to create cards, where users could collect points for all trash they
collect and get for recycling. This will motivate them to take care of the environment in
this way, because they could have a lot of benefits. In some stores they'll have
discounts for some products, also people with a lot of points could receive a cash
reward. The best and most effective could get a job in our institution or somewhere else,
which could be a very good satisfaction for young people without job, and students. This
cards would be free of charge, and we will try our best to motivate people with this
benefits.

4. The subject in schools would be more practical, with this subject children could
learn how important recycling is for their future, and they will learn all about the
facts how much damage the garbage that is not recycled brings to our
environment. This will include them to this process of recycling.

5. Another idea that we have is that we'll
promote montenegrian products which
would be made from recycled materials.
This way we'll try to develop awareness of
the Montenegrin people to buy products
from our country, because this would
raise our GDP and all products would be
cheeper because would be packed in
renewable packaging and companies this
way could reduce its costs, and invest
more in product quality.
