    Bulldogs Recycle!

    Baton Rouge Magnet High School is receiving the Environmental Leadership Program (ELP) Schools Recognition Award in Pollution Prevention for implementing a school-wide recycling program called Bulldogs Recycle! The goal of the program was to reduce the amount of paper and plastics that make its way to landfills. Recycling bins were placed in all classrooms, offices and workrooms. Students were responsible for maintaining the bins, sorting, and delivering contents. Students collected approximately 16,000 pounds of paper and plastics during the school year. Through these activities, environmental benefits include saving landfill space, conserving natural resources, saving energy and reducing greenhouse emissions. The club members were inspired to reduce their ecological footprint, instill pride among their peers for their environmental contributions and gain valuable lessons in environmental stewardship that will be carried into their adult lives.
