We’re happy to announce the winners of our latest\u00a0Photo Contest: How Does Your Host Country Recycle?<\/a><\/p>\n

First Place<\/span>:\u00a0<\/strong>“At our school, we lead up to Earth Day with a week-long event called Sustainable Solutions. Innovators and activists from around the world, as well as Green School and local students, present different thoughts, ideas, and projects on making our planet more sustainable. One part of it is The Trash Walk. Staff and students spend part of each day with the school\u2019s founder, John Hardy, walking through villages and rice fields collecting trash. Then it\u2019s recycled through the school\u2019s recycling center called Kembali.<\/p>\n

Here in Bali recycling is still a work in progress. There are recycling bins on many street corners, but the education surrounding the need and importance of recycling are still not in place. Many of these bins are full of trash that is not separated or is not recyclable. Green School is trying to get the word out one village at a time through what we call \u201cpilot villages.\u201d Green School students and local students work together, one village at a time, to raise awareness and provide sustainable solutions to plastics use, trash dumping, and practical recycling.”<\/p>\n
