I have recently interacted with Cove Creek School students quite a bit during snack and meals (lunch duty, field trips, school visits, EcoRaiders club) and I have noticed that a large majority of our students are lacking basic knowledge of recycling. They don't understand what materials can be recycled and often have bottles or cans mixed in with their uneaten food in their brown lunch bags and just dump the whole thing in the trash.
In preparation for our recycling campaign, which we will start when the weather turns colder and rainier, I visited the Watauga County Recycling Center last week. Ms. Heather Bowen was extremely helpful and informative, and provided me with some amazing recycling education posters, stickers, pencils, buttons and labels for our recycling containers. The EcoRaiders will be setting up two recycling centers to add to those around the school: one will be in the cafeteria, and the other by the outside picnic shelter. More to come!
