Cafeteria waste

In our environmental audit we identified paper waste and cafeteria waste as the two major sources of concern at Clemson Elementary. Addressing the second, I (Sprout) and my helpers ran a week-long trial recycling activity at the school. We set up recycling for plastic bottles and cans. We helped the kids with learning how to dispose their plastic bottles and cans, and they became masters of it within a week!!! Way to go students! Thanks to the kids, we collected more than 400 pieces of #1 PETEorPET plastic bottles within the week!

From Reduce-Reuse-Recycle, it's the first, waste reducion that matter most. I would like to see those funny cans gone from the cafeteria altogether. I SAY NO TO FLAVORED WATER SODA, for more than one reason! Read what I think and SAY NO if you agree with me - here:
