Recycling paper

Saturday 2 October 2010 par perbosc

Since mid-December, blue boxes "Special paper" have entered in all the rooms of the college. They can retrieve the paper already used and which no longer serve, preferably not crumpled, to recycle. Once a month, students in college eco-club pick them up, weigh the paper and will sort to the collector. The results will be displayed. At year end, they calculate the savings for the planet, by estimating the number of trees "saved" through this sort.
After only 15 days sorting, some credit already overflowing! The first collection took place in September. Result: 30kg paper and almost no sorting errors. Congratulations to all students and staff. It is a very encouraging start. Continue in this direction.
