If our school is required to teach us this, what do they actually do? Do they buy locally sourced materials and what do they do with the recycled materials? They never show us how to do it or lead by example, if not most people don’t know what their school does in order to help the environment.

I agree I think as a way to help this; student could have a day of every month where you have to go outside and clean up garbage with your class then bring it to a recycling depot where the teachers could show how they recycle stuff from the school. Or the student council could bring this topic up to the school and get them to start implementing more climate friendly actions into the school system.
