Make it a legal requirement for ALL schools to recycle ALL of their waste paper!

As you read this description,, a forest area the size of 20 football fields will be lost for paper production use alone.

Schools use mountains of paper each day. The average secondary school produces 22kg of waste per pupil each academic year. The figure for primary schools is even higher at 45kg per pupil.

Yet some schools simply discard of their paper wastage with their regular waste.

To ensure environmental sustainability in the UK's independent and state education sectors, it is time to introduce strict legislation which will prosecute schools who do not introduce the necessary infrastructure to recycle all paper waste and introduce sustainable paper usage policies.
