Now children and teachers will be able to sort paper, plastic, glass, metal, as well as polyethylene, says Inna Yatsina's post in the Facebook community "Charitable organization "Volunteers on Kontorska".

"Teachers and the principal raise students' eco-awareness, teach them to sort garbage," she wrote.

Yatsyna noted that such eco-conscious actions will help teach lyceum students to perceive garbage as a resource.



"Remember that waste can be turned into money, and money into quadcopters," she added.
