G-enerate Compost: Nottingham High School is not currently composting their food waste.

R-educe, R-ecycle, R-euse: Recycling is practiced in every classroom on the Nottingham campus. Nottingham currently boasts the highest percentage of waste diversion out of any high school in Syracuse.  Student participation in the recycling collection and quantification process is in the works at Nottingham.  Recycling advisories are posted in the hallways throughout the school.

E-ducate: Flyers line the hallways and classrooms reminding students, faculty, staff and parents to use their blue bins and recycle.

E-valuate the impact of everyday activities: Unfortunately, for many people, littering is an everyday activity. Students at Nottingham are refusing to let litter take over the landscape. To combat trash pollution  students at Nottingham are planning a trash cleanup day for the spring of 2006.

Nationalize the principals of responsible paper consumption: Plans to purchase recycled content paper are in the works at Nottingham High School.  Paper conservation is also a big theme among teachers and administrators.  Many members of the faculty save one-side-clean paper for re-use.

Keep Up the Good Work!
