On July 5, 2020, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) continued its soft plastic bags and film recycling project. It is a continuing effort for the GPA students to put their influence on the local community since their last public speech to the West Windsor Council on October 15, 2019 to support an ordinance proposed to reduce the usage of plastic bags.
Recycling has become as common today as taking out the trash. But not all items can recycle easily. Most of the soft plastic bags and film still end up in the landfill unless we intentionally separate and collect them for special recycling treatment. The GPA conservation team members are collecting all of those soft plastic items and having them delivered to designated locations for proper recycling.
GPA artists Menghan Sun and Mengxin Sun designed 3 posters for the AYLUS Environmental Committee and its national event to use.
In addition, GPA members followed social distancing rules to protect people and themselves while cleaning a park. Stay safe, everyone!
Participants: Fengqi Wen (2 hrs), Xin Chen (2 hrs), Sarah Yan (2 hrs), Xiangcheng Samuel Ying (2 hrs), Menghan Sun (3 hrs), Mengxin Sun (3 hrs), Cassie Tammy Wang (2 hrs), and Amber Yu (2 hrs).
