My name is Joselyn Ayala, and I am a junior studying abroad at Temple University Rome in the Fall 2026 semester. My project is focused on making a detailed poster with examples of how to separate different types of trash and recycling. Here in Rome and around Italy, they have a completely different trash system than in the US. They collect their waste with separate bins, including organic, plastic, cardboard, glass, and miscellaneous. Students coming from the US or other countries that do not follow that same system can feel frustrated and confused on what bin to use. Although we are given a small two-word description of what to put in each bin, students often either don't care or do care but accidentally do it incorrectly. Therefore, I wanted to make a poster right above the bins for campus and for student housing, where one can see exactly where something goes and what needs to be done with it first for it to be able to go in that bin, with examples. I will be able to research and accomplish this task with the Global Green Grant I received. This is a very important project because it comes down to listening to what Italy asks of us study abroad students to do, as guests in their country. By sorting waste correctly, students contribute to helping the environment by keeping recyclable and compostable items out of landfills. This has aligned with my major in Public Health because trash is an environmental health issue; it leads to an increase in pollution, microplastics, and misuse of resources. I hope the posters I create will be a helpful resource for the Temple Rome campus for a long time to come.
