America Recycle’s Day

Posted On: Dec 01, 10

Congratulations to 3R’s School Recycling Program’s Jefferson Elementary School and Sunset Beach Elementary School, who participated in America Recycles Day. 

Student leaders from both schools created presentations which included information on why recycling is important, instructions on sorting correctly and the benefits of recycling. The students then presented to their entire schools! All students were invited to sign the America Recycles Day Petition, pledging to make a commitment to recycle on campus. At Sunset Beach Elementary School students were treated to a book reading of “Michael Recycles” with images from the book projected on a large screen. At Jefferson Elementary School nearby Waikiki Beach Mariott Hotel donated recyclables collected from the hotel and Tyrone Crockwell, Environmental Engenieer, spoke to the student council about what the hotel is doing to educate their employees and guests about recycling. Mahalo to Ms. Danelle Cheng and Ms. Laura Cummings and their students for leading the charge.  America Recycles Day was a tremendous success!

America Recycles Day, November 15, is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to the promotion of recycling programs in the United States.
