Recycling rascals presentation final
Transcript of Recycling rascals presentation final
Mission Statement We are college students who are on a mission
to spread the word about recycling throughout Kempton Elementary and the New Bedford community. As the Recycling Rascals, we are here to encourage “Kempton’s little rascals” how to properly recycle, reuse, and reduce paper products. We are eager to make recycling enjoyable and easy to apply to their everyday lives.
Our Goals To increase the awareness of recycling which will be measured
by how many times the recycling bins have to get emptied per month
To get the community involved by getting at least 1 press release in a local newspaper about the efforts we are making at the Kempton school
We would like to feel confidant explaining to other people which products are able to be recycled
We hope to educate not only the students but also their guardians and faculty to recycle when at home not just in the school
To bring all of our skills together and work as one team to complete our project and goals which will result in a good grade
