Teaching Others About Zero Waste
Ms. Desbrisay's Grade 3 Class at Spring Creek Elementary School in Whistler decided today that they would like to help others learn more about how to make less garbage. They intend to teach their parents, their school buddies and others in their school, by giving them strategies to reduce their waste. This class has some great ideas to share! One effective strategy that the students came up with today was to bring some of their recyclables home. In doing so, they can reduce the amount of waste that goes into their garbage can at school as each classroom at the school is not set up to be able to recycle everything that the Recycle Depot can.
