Neiafu Recycles!

aside from its obvious use, this is definately a trophy piece. no other village on the island has a bin like this.

it says. "Make/keep Neiafu beautiful." "empty cans" "empty bottles" "Other kinds of rubbish are forbidden."

I can hardly believe it myself. With some leftover fence material we were able to weld together this recycling bin here. Our goal is to stop throwing tin cans and plastic bottles behind our houses or near the sea. To kick things off we are having all the grade levels at the primary school compete to bring in the most recyclables. I have promised an ice cream party for the class who brings in the most by the conclusion of the competition. I have no idea how this is going to turn out. Will the kids lose interest once ice cream is no longer at stake? Will the collection agency honor their verbal agreement to pick up the recyclables? Will one large box of ice cream be enough? These answers and more next time. It is a considerable success that we have even gotten this far.
