| 52 | Danae Fails | nae3@hotmail.com | It is very irresponsible, and setting a bad example to the students to thoughtlessly dispose of all school waste without recycling the many items that could be. |

| 55 | Ruthie Mundell | Ruthie@CommunityForklift.com | As a county taxpayer, I'm shocked that this isn't being done already. Recycling could save the school system a lot of money if done correctly!
Cans, at the very least, are effortless to deal with. In my high school way out in the sticks (down in St. Mary's County), they started recycling cans at least 25 years ago. The school put recycling bins next to every trash can, then student clubs were assigned to each bin. The clubs collected the cans each week, took them to the recycler, and used the money to adopt needy families at Christmas. The whole student body bought into it because we had competitions to see how much money each club could raise. Made sense for the environment and the school budget - and gave us a valuable education in being thrifty and serving others.
Thanks,

| 58 | Kathie Hiatt | khiatt311@comcast.net | As a resident of PG county, I'm stunned that the schools do not have a recycling program. I certainly hope this oversight is corrected. |
| 59 | Lara Oerter | larabishop4@hotmail.com | This is embarrassing. How could there not be a recycling program in the school system. What is this teaching our kids? |

| 62 | Rita Pascale | ritapascale@hotmail.com | I teach at a high school, and the amount of waste that is really recyclable is HUGE. Please put something in place to recapture some of these resources rather than literally throwing them away. |
| 63 | stuart mawler | smawler@gmail.com | i am a resident of prince george's county and heartily support this petition. in addition, i am ashamed of our county and the fact that we even need to have this petition. all government agencies at the local, state, and national level need to lead by example in recycling, waste reduction, and green practices. |

| 66 | Irene Marsh | irene36@closecall.com | It is absolutely essential that recycling be done everywhere, homes, schools, businesses, organizations, etc. It is no longer an option to just buy and toss in view of out deteriorating environment, toxic materials, and wastefulness. |
| 67 | Bill Updike | updikew@yahoo.com | How embarrassing that PG County Schools don't have recycling! I didn't know and I am outraged. It makes us seem like a backwards county, and does not help our public perception. How can we expect our children to lead us into a new green century if we don't even have the leadership to do the bare minimum and recycle in our schools. |

| 71 | Arletta Gustafson | arlettag@comcast.net | I find it unbelievable that an institution that is supposed to be teaching our youth how to be upstanding and productive citizens doesn't have a basic recycling program. Recycling should not only be instituted at Northwestern but all schools in the county. This includes elementary, middle, and high schools. |

| 74 | Dwight Holmes | dwightrholmes@gmail.com | Schools and students should be at the forefront of environmental awareness *and* action. Kudos to the students for this petition drive! |
| 75 | Christopher Niebling | christopherniebling@gmail.com | This cannot be optional, we must teach students how vital recycling is to our environment and way of life. |
| 76 | Moore Family | fourmoores1@verizon.net | This is an appalling waste that should be corrected immediately. |
| 77 | Dr Patricia Stephenson | seekingpatricia@netscape.net | It is incredibly important for the EDUCATION of children to teach recycling, waste reduction, and environmental stewardship. There are many model programs in Maryland counties. PG County doesn't have to look far for technical assistance on this. |
| 78 | Michelle Hermanson | mmhonline@earthlink.net | I'm sure there are easy and cost effective solutions for recycling the paper generated at the schools. |

| 83 | Heather Phipps | heathbleau@yahoo.com | I just want to applaud these Northwestern HS students for taking a leadership role in improving the sustainability of the PG Public School system. This is a much needed initiative that the school system administration should implement immediately. |

| 94 | John Campanile | jbelltower@yahoo.com | Both of my daughters have attended Eliz. Seton High School in PG County, and recycling of paper and aluminum is provided. PGCS can and should provide same. |

| 96 | Christine Hinojosa | hinojosa@umd.edu | Great idea--glad to hear you are working toward this. |
| 97 | Dianne Russell | chris-di@comcast.net | Our schools can model for students and the community how our resouces can be best used. Recycling is clearly an important part of waste reduction and should be instituted as soon as possible.
Energy use in the schools can be next! |
