About sorting and recycling waste International school UWEKIND Sofia
In the right direction … Several years ago our government decided to implement the separating of waste. Containers for different types of garbage were placed in the towns. Recycling factories are build. The people in Bulgaria still work on their habits of separating wastes.
Scientific experiment A group of students put some plastic bags in the ground behind the school. They want to prove that the plastic material is irresolvable. They haven’t seen any changes for two months.
Uwekinds’ students have entered in a competition for a creation of bags from ecological materials, organized by Municipality.
The process • Students bought a special cotton textile produced without any chemicals. • They made a research about how to make natural paints. • They decided to boil onions and make brown paint for cotton textile. • They thought about the text on the bag and decided to use a part of our Green song. • Students sew and painted the bag.
Our Questions • Do you separate waste? • Do you know what recycling means? • Do you know why some materials are recycled? • Do you buy things (like newspapers, paper, packaging, bags, etc.) which are made of recycled materials? • Do you support the idea for reusing materials? • Do you know how waste is recycled? • Do you think that products made of recycled waste are of a lower quality? • Do you preserve natural resources by using recycled materials? • What sources of information do you use about recycling? • Do you think we should put a stronger emphasis on environmental education at school?
A N S W E R S The parents of our students have ecologically thinking and they take care about environmental education of their children.
What sources of information do you use about recycling? 17% of respondents are Informed at school. 83% of respondents use TV, Internet, Newspapers, Magazines, etc.
Parents … The parents are really interested in EU-cology project. They bought some trees and students planted them out at the school field.
The parents are ready to support school in all actions that are connected with the environmental issues. You will see a special event in the presentation “Tidying the environment”
