For my Action Plan I want to implement full on recycling bins in my local elementary school. It is crucial that the young generations are taught sustainable practices from an early age so that they can value them and carry them with them throughout the rest of their lives. If there is no education or tie to our environment, which we see less and less in the generations below us, a sense of protecting it will completely disappear and are planet will be doomed. By implementing the extension recycling bin system we have in Solheimar students, starting from kindergarten, will be aware that everything is recyclable and learn that most of what we buy such as over excessive packaging is wasteful. Learning this from a young age will lead them to making sustainable decision in the future, even if it is not consciously, because it will be ingrained in them.
