The Second Life of Waste Paper at Pardaugava School

Students could collect and sort the paper into three parts: A) paper; B) newspapers; 3) mixed paper (magazines, books without covers, notebooks, exercise books, paper, packaging, promotional brochures). On April 8, our school held a lecture for 7 classes, during which the representative of the company L & T Janis Aisbalts spoke about the need to sort garbage and introduced kids the project L & T ® Ekoskola. Also, a film about recycling paper was offered to the attention of students. At the end of the lecture the students asked various questions on this topic.  A point to collect waste paper was established by L & T in our school. Three containers were installed in the classroom of Home economics . In one of them students had to collect office white paper, in the second - the newspapers, and in the third - mixed paper (magazines, books without covers, notebooks, wrapping paper, advertising leaflets).
