The Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania (PROP) “GreenSylvania” program is aimed at Pennsylvania’s public, private, charter, homeschool, etc. K-12 schools. GreenSylvania was modeled from the national RecycleMania competition for colleges and universities. GreenSylvania assists with implementing or enhancing school recycling programs by generating enthusiasm among students, staff, and faculty for recycling at school, home, and special events. This is particularly significant for schools required to recycle by local ordinances. A goal of GreenSylvania is to increase the amount of recyclables diverted from school disposal streams during and after the competition. The competition offers a number of educational skills and concepts that can be interwoven with the competition such as science, math, writing, and environmental stewardship. Additionally, a school’s image is enhanced as a contributor to the community’s recycling and environmental efforts. |
