The Green Machine project aims to increase recycling awareness and participation among students and families at Carney Academy in New Bedford, MA. The team has set several goals, including raising at least $100 by collecting 2,000 cans/bottles, having each student bring in 5 items, and engaging 50 families in a blue bin recycling initiative at home. They have held recycling-themed events at school and distributed a newsletter to families to promote their efforts. Current collection totals show progress toward the 2,000 can/bottle goal. The team works to establish recycling as an ongoing tradition at the school after completing their project.
