Supplies / Marketing
The administrator, Conservation Liaisons, students and employees should work together to market the school’s conservation program. Continuous communication with students and employees will have a positive effect as people see their efforts are producing results.
Be sure to publicize program milestones, such as collecting the first 50 cellular phones; reducing your electric consumption by 4% or having a 20% increase in your recycled paper volume; utilize school announcements and/or the television; and create contests to increase your recycled volume. All of these actions will help to create a high level of awareness for your conservation program.
Specific procedures for recycling many types of materials can be found in the Recycling Manual. Information related to energy, gas, and water can be found in the Energy Management Handbook. Please share these manuals with all of the employees at your school.
