Grade 7 and 8 students at the new Coast Mountain Academy in Squamish are interested in making a difference in their environment and they hope to inspire others in the school and community to participate in an Act of Green during Earth Week next week. The students received a Zero Waste Workshop last week, where they talked about how healthy, homemade food options are often better for them and better for the environment. Packaging produces such a large percentage of our waste that ends up in the landfill as so much of our current packaging is not recyclable. Homemade food involves less packaging and can then be brought to school in a reusable container. Students were still brainstorming which initiatives they would create and encourage at their school. We will check in again to see what they did.
