NHS students at Willow Bend Academy in Plano, TX, are promoting #MakingGlobalChange by holding a paper recycling contest. To make it fun, they pitted two bins against each other in a match-up of Netflix vs. YouTube so that students and teachers felt more incentivized to recycle their used paper properly. Passersby could place a “vote” or two for their favorite video-streaming platform by depositing their paper in their preferred bin. Change the recycling rivalry to two bins you think your school will get excited about, or come up with your own idea to promote global change. Be sure to share the results on Instagram using #MakingGlobalChange!
