Students interviewed Dr. Apostolos Rofaelas about recycling concerns at Pinewood International American School of Thessaloniki.
Dr. Apostolos Rofaelas was invited to attend the ELL Intensive 7 class where students asked him questions related to recycling. The students were excited and the Principal was thrilled to be part of an engaging class.
Below are the questions students prepared and the Principal's answers:
Veronika Koleberdina: Should we organize whole-school events related to recycling at school?
Dr. Rofaelas: Yes, we should organize some next year. This year, we need students and teachers to collaborate for the school to be cleaner.
Romeo Mistakidis: What are the benefits of recycling in our community and how can we improve recycling at our school?
Dr. Rofaelas: I know that recycling is not working really well here, but in the new school we are going to improve recycling by introducing new methods.
Diego Manzano Cases: Should we have conferences or seminars about recycling? If yes, what should we discuss?
Dr. Rofaelas: Yes, we should definitely have conferences about recycling. We should discuss how we should recycle, what we should recycle, and why it is so important.
Vasilisa Naumenko: Can you tell us some reasons why recycling is important in our school?
Dr. Rofaelas: Recycling is important in our school because all the children here are from different countries and when the students of this school grow up and return to their home countries, they will use their prior knowledge to make the world a better place.
XiYa Jiang: Why do you think younger students need to learn about recycling?
Dr. Rofaelas: I think younger students need to learn about recycling because parents spend time teaching their kids about the importance of recycling and how to do it, and if they learn about it earlier, they can be the leaders of tomorrow.
With the ecological situation getting worse, recycling is very important. Pollution harms nature and all living organisms, and if one recycles garbage, the environment can be helped a little. If there is open communication about ecology, many people will be interested in helping nature.
