Recycling is a huge concern that many people don't take into consideration. The problem with recycling is that there is a lack of education of proper management for the youth in the school system specifically the Rochester City School District. This is a challenge to many teenagers who really aren’t engaged in recycling, because they believe it doesn't affect them directly. This has been a big concern for many years, as taking care of our environment is very beneficial to not only our city’s sustainability but also to the human race. In the RCSD this is a problem that exists mainly for teenagers and others, as there are not enough programs to support the knowledge of kids who want to be involved in recycling waste. The lack of education for the youth is caused by the school system itself. Recycling in schools tends to be very helpful, but also challenging at times. Due to students not being educated, they utilize recycling bins wrong. In various school districts, students, will throw away trash items that are not recyclable. This is a huge issue that is not heavily discussed in creating change in school meetings. This is a daily occurrence for which we must create solutions.

We need to rethink our recycling systems since the Chinese have stopped buying our plastic waste. What are we going to do with the materials we collect in blue boxes?
