Students Set up a Classroom Waste Reduction Campaign

May 20 2020

Ms. Gonzales's students increased recycling and implemented composting in their classroom and educated other students about reducing waste.

Summary

Ms. Gonzales's students have taken a conscious effort to increase recycling and implement composting in their classroom. They now have a three bin (recycling, composting, and landfill) system  in their classroom. Each of the bins are properly labelled to educate others what goes inside each bin. They are educating themselves about the importance of waste reduction for conserving resources and protecting the environment through research and their own in-classroom presentations. They are also reaching out to other students about this important subject by facilitating classroom presentations and making classroom posters.
