Schools use a lot of paper and plastic all the time, much more than you do in your household and a great idea would be to have recycling bins in every classroom in the school. After about a week of using recycling bins everyone would see how much we threw away that we could have been recycling the whole time and it could open many eyes and make people want to recycle at home too. https://www.recyclenow.com/recycle/recycle-school   here is a link to get more information about recycling at school and maybe even get your school to start.

I think that is a great way to help reduce carbon footprints. It's hard to understand why more schools and universities do not enforce students and students to recycle. It does nothing but good for our earth. I will work harder to make sure all of my waste makes it into the recycle bin.
