Engaging high school students in waste avoidance and recovery

Survey for high school teachers

Waste Wise Schools would very much appreciate your insight into what you have found works well (or not) in engaging high school students in waste wise initiatives. There are no right or wrong answers and all feedback is welcome. This will take about 10 minutes.

Your feedback will guide us in the design of a new behaviour change toolkit for secondary schools.

All respondents will go into a draw to win a 4MyEarth sandwich wrap.
