Educate students about portion control, encouraging them to take only what they can consume and providing options for returning unconsumed food for composting.
Install clearly labeled recycling bins throughout the school, including classrooms, hallways, and outdoor areas, facilitating proper waste separation and recycling.
Organize sustainability challenges or competitions where students and staff can partake in waste reduction initiatives, such as “zero waste” lunch days or plastic-free weeks.
Establish connections with local waste management authorities or organizations specializing in organic waste recycling. They may offer resources, guidance, or workshops for students and staff.
