With regards to recycling, in recent years many HELMEPA Junior Groups have implemented recycling initiatives in their schools in cooperation with local authorities and other entities. The response of young schoolchildren and kindergartens in particular to recycling initiatives is very positive. Following their example, the participation of all of us in recycling programs should become a way of life! |
