Recycling OE

My opinion editorial advocates a new and better recycling program for BYU. Here is a body paragraph for my essay:

Students should be aware of recycling and its positive effects so that they will be more willing and likely to recycle. With a wide variety of students from across the nation and world, students from BYU have a array of knowledge on recycling, ranging from expert to being completely in the dark. People from California, where a number of recycling laws are enlisted and practiced, are probably more likely to recycle than a person from a state that does not have these same laws simply because they are used to recycling and have a better understanding of it. If the community of BYU was educated about recycling, more people would be aware of recycling and could make it a habit in their daily routine. Advertising with recycling posters across campus is one way to bring about awareness. With bulletin boards in every building that students pass, low-cost posters advocating recycling could be easily distributed. An article in the Daily Universe could also bring knowledge about recycling to many students who read it. Bringing a knowledge and awareness of recycling to the BYU campus will help remind students to recycle and can help introduce the idea of recycling to students who have no strong prior knowledge of it.


Some questions I have:
I realize that the topic of recycling is probably a huge bore to most people. How can I make my writing more interesting to capture and maintain a reader's interest?

Is this paragraph relevant to my essay?

What other ideas could I incorporate into other body paragraphs for my writing?

I believe that BYU does sufficient recycling. This planet is going to burn in the second coming so really there is not a lot we need to fret about recycling.

You have a very unique perspective on recycling. It makes me smile.
