Recycling-Greece

The three Rs of the environment

• Reduce Reducing the amount of waste we produce
  is one of the best ways to help the environment

• Reuse Instead of throwing things away we could
  find a new way of using them again.

Recycle Recycled items are put through a process
that makes it possible to create new products out
of the materials of the old ones.

• These 3 methods are the best and most efficient
  ways to help the environment.
• In our school we reduce, reuse and recycle in
  various ways.
• Heres what weve done!

Composting

• Compost is organic matter that has been
  decomposed and recycled as fertilizer and soil
  amendment. In our school we use organic and home
  waste, egg shells that are provided by local
  bakers, coffee leftovers as well as fruits and
  vegetables that are no longer for sale. We also
  collaborate with super markets such as Lidl to
  make sure their not for sale fruits and
  vegetables are provided to us and not thrown
  away.
• By composting we made and sold fertilizer and
  also reduced the waste produced.

  yard. The oil produced was given to the local
  nursing home.
