Rosemere High School and the environment don’t get along. There are absolutely no recycling facilities in the hallways, and the recycling bins in the classrooms are strictly for paper. There is no sensitization of any kind regarding being eco-responsible. A lot of students are still throw their paper in the trash can, and their garbage on the ground.
The cafeteria is one of our school’s big problems. The dishes are of single use only, and they are not even biodegradable. This year, they have “compostable silverware”. Since don’t even recycle at our school, we have a long way to go before we start composting. Though they are biodegradable bins in the dump yard, this is only the first step. The number of garbage bags filled with waste every lunch hour at our school is preposterous, let alone what ends up on the floor.
Also, small is the number of teachers who print on both sides of the paper. It doesn’t sound like such a big deal, but when you think of it, it doubles the amount of paper. In a class of 30 people, it makes a dramatic difference!
There was an environmental club for a while, but due to lack of funds and cooperation from the direction, it might not be continued this year. Our school needs to change its habits drastically. People have to start opening their eyes and take action!

I completely agree with you. Our school is lacking of cooperation towards being eco-friendly.
