May 20 2016

The class did the post-assessment and report (attached)

Summary

Trash on the playground was greatly reduced. We went from 5 full 10-gallon buckets to less than 5 inches in 1 10 gallon bucket.

 

The class is doing a better job with recycling. More eligible items end up in recycling (after having been thoroughly used).
