At school, 5 small plastic bottles on average are thrown in the classroom recycling boxes daily. This means around 50 plastic bottles per day or 250 plastic bottles per week. Together we are discussing possible solutions to reduce this litter. Ideas that have been discussed include giving more information to students, encouraging all students to bring reusable bottles to school and installing a water dispensing machine.
