Best out of Waste

Recycling is much more than just reducing the amount of waste sent to the landfill, with a long list of benefits that aren’t limited to the environment — there are economic and social advantages to recycling.

Florescent Public School organised a “Best out of Waste” celebration for the students of grade 1 to grade 8. The studens participated in using waste and their creativity to create something of a use. The students created a hanging photoframe and a pen stand and many other showcased their creativity. Students thought as we live in a consumer-driven world, with a growing appetite for new things, if we begin to look at the waste created by this level of consumption in a different light, we might turn our problem into an opportunity. In a broad sense, recycling is part of an ethic of resource efficiency – of using products to their fullest potential. When a recycled material, rather than a raw material, is used to make a new product, natural resources and energy are conserved.

Florescent Public School thanks the students for the involvement and enthusiasm of people like them, recycling is back and so are thousands upon thousands of recycled products made from materials that would otherwise be piling up in our nation’s landfills.
