Litterless Lunch

Our week of litterless lunches and being mindful of how much garbage we produced was a huge success! We had a little clear box and the garbage that was in it was the only non-recyclable items we produced over the whole 5 days. We also began looking for the recycling symbols on containers to help us determine whether they were garbage or recyclable items. The students were also more aware of how much paper was going into the recycling bin (it's amazing how much one class can go through). It was nice to see them say 'hey, let's not put that in the recycle bin, let's put it in the art bin and use it for something'. Even if it was the smallest piece of paper, they didn't want to waste it!
