To become eco-friendly, I believe the school really needs to reach out to the student body. The administrators may control the rules, but it's certainly the kids who run the school. With teenagers, however, it seems we can only handle one thing at a time, since our lives are so crazy and all, so little steps should be taken. Such a step would include promoting recycling. It's an obvious help to the environment and extremely easy to do. I'm sure teenagers could handle such a thing as simply throwing their papers into a box rather than a trash can. But it seems like the recycling in our school is mainly focused on paper, where as there are plenty of other things we can recycle, such as water bottles and old pencils. These materials should be made aware of and given their own special recycling boxes. Also, the boxes should be bigger and more apparent so it catches us teenagers' eye and have us realize, oh this is a big deal.
