We decided to visit Manchester Recycling Site as we felt we needed to know more about recycling as it had great influence and power as well as specialist knowledge on the issue from us choice. Before the trip, we worked together to formulate questions that we thought were important for us to take action, such as Did we talk to our school's site manager to find out if we would be allowed to get more recycling bins and why when everyone recyclable items are separated at school and then thrown away together when collected by cleaners. He made it clear that it is the councilors who are responsible for policy and spending decisions and that officials carry out the decisions and that the school is not intended to recycle recyclable items as it is classed as a business and costs a lot of money to take control of it . items to the local recycling facility. This indicates that most schools in the UK do not support recycling and do not contribute to recycling as they nevertheless promote recycling, for example a recycling awareness week. This view is contrary to our action for the school to be eco-sustainable and will hopefully be able to change this situation and make our school more eco-sustainable. Secondly, I chose to contact the Student Council because it is a good idea to involve them as they have an important role to play in school and can help us turn our plans into actions. Ms. Semp (head of the student council) said that everyone would be in favor of recycling because its benefits are obvious, saying that the student council has an interest in the issue of people not throwing items in the garbage at all, let alone the fact that in the right basket. She also responded to my letter by saying: "I also believe, like you, that we should think more about recycling... in the middle of paper... always and I think every school should have a recycling policy" furthermore, the large and small businesses, which use a lot of paper, should recycle. And ink cartridges are those things that cost a lot of money! Believe it or not, they can be recycled! So recycle them! This is evident from the article which states that studies show that “approximately 28,000 liters of water, 4,000 kWh of electricity and 2 barrels of oil are used to produce one ton of new paper. Additionally, approximately 2,200 pounds of solid waste is generated during this process. Did you know that 20% of the logs (which involve cutting down trees) harvested from the world's forests are reserved for the production of new paper. Shocking statistics! Isn't it? Producing one ton of new paper requires 98 tons of resources, not surprisingly, producing new paper is indeed a burden on our resources.
