I am a 9th grade teacher at a medium-size private school in Mumbai, India. I have been challenged to make some international connections via technology for the coming school year. I am open to any and all suggestions -- collaborative story writing, sharing books, studying periods in Science, etc. Would love to discuss with you! I am interested to know the different projects and activies taken up by the schools to create awareness among the students about solid waste accumulation problem and different practical management techniques like segregating, recycling etc. to curb this problem.

I am very much glad and honoured to get a reply from you. I and my students will be really interested in establishing a link via email or chat and doing a project in Solid Waste Accumulation and Recycling related to waste that's generated in the school.
Looking forward for more information and your reply.

I am an 8th grade teacher in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. I would love to connect with you and your students if possible. We have worked a great deal in relation to Climate Change and Alternative Energy Resources. We could certainly create a project or something relating to solid waste accumulation, recycling, management, etc.
Last school year my students won a Provincial award based upon their work in overhauling our school recycling program so they will be very interested in collaborating with students from across the globe to hear what it is like there in relation to recycling and climate change.
My email is hilljw@shaw.ca or hillj@spsd.sk.ca. Pleae contact me and let's get something started. Thanks so much,

Thank you for showing interest in this project. As mentioned before we are working on this 'Solid Waste Segregation and Management' project. This is our action plan for the same.
1. Online Survey- For checking the students awareness related to this topic.
2. Induction Programme- To give an idea about the action plan for the project.
3. Role plays- To spread the message of problems generated by improper disposal of solid waste.
4. Trash Audit- To do a Comparative study of the waste generated in the school.
5. Celebrating 'NO WASTE DAY'- To minimize the generation of waste.
6. 'Best Out of Waste' Activity/ Recycle Art Contest
7. Field Trips are being planned - To demonstrate the recycling of waste.
and some activities are yet to be planned which we will keep uploading from time to time.
We would appreciate any kind of help or guidance from your side in this project. We would like to know of any activity/ method that we could follow in our school related to this project. We are interested in establishing links with your students. We are open to online interactions or via email with you and your students.
Looking forward to your response at the earliest.
