I think that yes in some retrospects a school should encourage recycling..... BUT in Ireland where I live the makes do a subject called CSPE (Civic Social and Political Eduacation) in which all we do is talk about recycling and helping the enviornment and it ...... just ....gets ....soooooo......boring. The course itself has put me off recycling entirely but I don't think that we should be encouraging it in class time as that just means that the kids won't pay attention and they will be likely not to do it.  Where as if you used a poster campaign it might encourage students more than in class time.

no way\nI live in Sweden and the country is better off for recycling, we must do it, all soft drinks/beer bottles have money on them, everywhere there are paper,plastic bins. people believe that the world is a better place for it, sorry to say but you Amerasians think that it's OK to plunder and destroy the planet regardless of the cost. we do our own recycling every time we do our shopping, we think that having big cars with big engines are just a waste, wake up, take a look at the rest of the world before it's to late, after all we have to share it with you,\n\n:)

All space garbage should be recycled and composted into an ecosystem. Thats the complicated set of chemistry questions that goes wtih that particular problem.\n\nUsing large enough diameters and centripetal force we can generate strong enough and stable enough pseudo\ngravity to compensate for that problem. A chemical problem with a civil engineering fix.

ask the children to bring in empty packaging from home as a small homework task. sort through th items brought in with the children talking about what can be recycled and why we should recycle. More importantly what recycling means. \nAllow the children to make collages using the varoius types of materials which can be recycled. \nyou could make this into a display. You could also do junk modelling with the packaging.

yes they should because at home most of the teenagers are on the go and they will pik up n e thing that is more convient to eat or drink such as fast food (McD's) and sodas out of mini marts so i think that they should have nothing but healthy food so that the teenagers have no othr choice but to eat healthy in school

I live in Seattle....we have good recycle program.\n.\nWe have trucks that pick up trash.\nand we have trucks that pick up yard waste.\nand we have trucks that pick up recycling.\nAnd recycling in mandatory in Seattle.\nYou could get fined if you don't.\nBut that would only be in the case of egregious offenders.\n\n____\nSeattle City Light in November became the first major utility in the U.S. to cut its net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to zero through a strategy of conservation, renewable energy purchases, and an innovative greenhouse gas mitigation program. “We have a fundamental belief that we can power the city without toasting the planet,” Mayor Nickels said in announcing the accomplishment. City Light’s GHG emissions reductions since 2000 represent the equivalent of taking 140,000 cars off the road. \nhttp://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/environment/Documents/newsletter/SustainThis_v10.html\nhttp://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/util/Services/Recycling/index.asp

Take the disk and open it up. There is a way to open them up from the little silver circle. Theres a brown plastic thing inside that keeps all your data. Just get rid of that and you will be fine. You can cut it up or burn it. I dont think there is a special way of recycling them unless you just want to format the disk (which will erase all data anyway) and then give it to someone who might want them. A lot of schools have a need for them so you might want to give them to a school near you.

I think they waste more than they save. There are alot of other needs in this world that is being over looked. I think we have poor leadership, and someone needs to do something about it.

This is a question that should be on everyone's mind. Trash especially stuff that is not bio-degradable, is a threat to the very existence of this planet. I would like to think that environmentally friendly ways of completely destroying trash will have been found.

No, because all of the materials used to make people are constantly being recycled.\n\nThe mass of the earth is increasing, however, because of the constant bombardment of the planet with cosmic dust and stuff.

The way I see it is: as a society we are mass consumers. We buy, use a little, then throw away. Very wasteful. If you can reuse something, it puts a smaller demand on resources and your own pocketbook, not to mention the impact that recycling has on the environment that we live in. It's too bad that we are trained to just be consumers and not to see ahead enough to recognize the problems associated with this consumerism. Good Luck! That's my two bits.

Yes I believe they should. First, so kids dress appriopriately to school and are taught discipline and second so the school does not turn into a fashion show

Off the top of my head, we recycle newspapers, cardboard, glass, metal, plastic, and plastic bags.\n\nThe recycle container gets bigger each week, while the trash container gets smaller.\n\nI suspect this is the way it's supposed to work.\n\nThings that don't get recycled include garbage, pizza boxes, egg cartons (fiber ones), furniture, appliances, and oil/paint/chemical containers.

I was just wondering what more I could do this week.\n\nI recycle paper and plastics... buy reusable products instead of disposable versions.\n\nI would love to get an e-friendly car the next time around.\n\nI should lobby more.\n\nI also taught my students to THINK and care about the planet. That is probably my strongest contribution.
