This proposal outlines a project aimed at addressing the issue of plastic waste in Bato National
High School by transforming used materials into functional and aesthetically pleasing signage and
trash bins. This initiative promotes sustainability, environmental consciousness, and community
engagement.
Plastic waste poses a significant environmental threat, contributing to pollution, landfill

durable and visually appealing signage and trash bins for various areas within the school.
• Promote environmental awareness: The project will raise awareness among students, faculty,
and staff about plastic waste and its impact on the environment.
• Foster community engagement: The project will involve students and staff in the achievement
of this project
Project Activities

cover, and plastic bottles to construct the signage and trash bins.
• Installation: Install the finished products in designated areas within the school.
5. Project Timeline
• Phase 1: Collection, sorting, and initial design planning.
• Phase 2: Construction of signage and trash bins.
• Phase 3: Installation and educational campaign.
6. Project Budget
The project budget will be primarily sourced from student contributions. The budget will cover
materials, and tools.
