- See what kind of recycling laws or opportunities your city has. You can probably recycle stuff from your own front door—from glass to aluminum to paper, or even plastic.
- Grow your own vegetables and fruits if you can. They'll smell great, taste better, and save you money, gas—and resources.
- Wear a green armband on Earth Day!
- Get your school / community / church to give a discount for people who bring in recyclables. For every 10 bottles or cans they could receive a 10% discount on the cost of a game, t-shirt, rosary beads, whatever. Proceeds can go to energy efficient light bulbs for your school-or the recycled materials could go to the art department for unique art projects.
- Design wildly fun recycling bins to use on campus. Here are a few for inspiration.
- Have a fundraiser selling recycled canvas grocery bags and Nalgene waterbottles with your school logo or with a message about "going green" to get others to ditch plastic.
