Children Play Key Role in Recycling Project
Understanding the importance of a clean environment begins at an early age. This is why children are the primary target audience for the USAID/Macedonia Plastic Recycling Project’s outreach campaign.
With help from USAID, primary school students in Skopje, Strumica, Gostivar, and Kocani leap into action to educate their classmates, family members and neighbors about the importance of plastic recycling. Students of the Bratstvo School in Skopje’s Municipality of Karpos dressed in blue and yellow plastic bags - blue for the collection of paper and yellow for the collection of plastic – to distribute collection bags and educational leaflets to households in their neighborhoods.
More fun activities for all ages are planned for the upcoming Earth Day Fair on April 20th. The children’s enthusiasm is inspiring, but equally important are the public-private partnerships being formed between the municipalities, public utility companies and schools, which will continue far into the future.
