Waste production and waste management are a part of everyone’s lives. You already know a lot about making, and getting rid of, garbage. It’s time to review our waste management habits and make a significant difference in the environment around us.
Students at South Arbor were introduced to Category 1 - Recycling, of our Green School Project. A Student Council and Green Team lead presentation on what a recycling program involves prompted great discussion amongst our students. Containers are in place to recycle paper, batteries, print cartridges, newspapers and magazines, and most importantly Terra Cycle wrappers.
During all three lunches, the Green Team has placed labeled boxes to collect foil type wrappers that can be shipped off and made into other types of items. Wrappers from Capri Sun, chips, granola bars, candy and cookies are recycled to make backpacks, purses, pencil pouches and varies items.
The culminating activity for the lesson was to create awareness signs that are displayed throughout the school. Think Green and Reduce, Reuse, Recycle are definitely the motto for South Arbor this year!
