An innovative project was officially launched on August 30th at the Cégep de Matane, while the collegiate I students from the Nature Sciences program, in collaboration with the Institutional Environment Action and Consultation Committee, launched an appeal to the entire community. college to recycle their pencils.   With the theme: «PRAY the future! Young people are offering students and campus staff to recycle their pens, markers and pencils of all kinds by depositing them in the different collection boxes available throughout the school.   The collected material will be sent to TerraCycle, which will have the mission to give it a second life. This project was born thanks to the initiative of Mario Lévesque, teacher of the Biology course Evolution and diversity of life in the Science program who had the idea of integrating the project into his class.   "As an educational institution, we generate an incredible amount of pens, mechanical pencils, highlighters and permanent markers that unfortunately end up in the trash. As Bruntland Institution and Cégep Vert, we want to stop this pollution by partnering with the wholesale office TerraCycle program. Today, we have started our awareness campaign and we hope that our fellow students and employees will lend themselves to this form of recovery in addition to that of batteries managed by CACE for two years. (Mario Lévesque teacher)   Eight picking boxes are already in place and seven more will soon be added to the Matane Cégep.
