Our Mission
We are four students working with our community partner to raise
awareness to our surrounding communities about the importance of
recycling but also recycling correctly and show ways recycled items
can be used its second time around. We want to spread knowledge
by educating ourselves, so we can take part in educating local
children and teaching them exactly why we recycle and what we
recycle. By doing this, we hope to create a better environment for
us to live and grow in. We also hope to see improvement in
recycling habits and behaviors.
