DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM

Sorting Out Our Trash: A San Jose High School Initiative - Bringing Awareness to the
Importance of Proper Waste Management and Recycling is a comprehensive program designed
to educate students, faculty, staff, and the wider community about the critical need for proper
waste management and recycling.

Through this program, San Jose High School aims to create awareness and promote sustainable
practices to ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for ourselves and future generations. The
program will cover a wide range of topics related to waste management, including waste
reduction, waste segregation, recycling, composting, and proper disposal techniques.

The program will consist of a series of interactive workshops, presentations, and activities that
will provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Experts in waste management and
recycling will be invited to share their knowledge and experience with the students, faculty,
staff, and the wider community.

Students will be encouraged to take an active role in the program by participating in group
activities, developing and implementing waste reduction and recycling initiatives, and
spreading awareness to their families and friends. Faculty and staff will also be encouraged to
lead by example by promoting sustainable practices in their classrooms and offices.

The program will culminate in a school-wide event that will showcase the achievements and
efforts of the students, faculty, staff, and the wider community in waste reduction and
recycling. This event will also provide an opportunity to engage with local businesses and
organizations involved in waste management and recycling.

By participating in Sorting Out Our Trash: A San Jose High School Initiative - Bringing
Awareness to the Importance of Proper Waste Management and Recycling, students, faculty,
staff, and the wider community will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of
sustainable waste management practices. We hope that this program will inspire individuals to
take action and make a positive impact on the environment, both locally and globally.
