Brita+Filter+for+Good+Eco+Challenge

Thanks to Brita's FilterforGood Eco Challenge, we have had some special opportunities!

We used some of the grant money for banners and signs to promote our recycling efforts. We also purchased some rolling yardwork bins to help transport recyclables throughout the school and during recycling drives. An extra special treat was the privilege of going on a field trip to the city's Materials Recovery Facility to see how recycling is done at the dump. A bonus venture to the landfill was eye opening, to say the least! After touring our state of the art facility at the landfill, we headed over to Pacific Steel and Recycling to find out what becomes of the aluminum cans and lunch trays we bring them, along with a host of other recyclables! Witnessing these two places first hand has been a powerful experience for these children (and their teacher.) Their enthusiasm for recycling continues to grow. Check out the report and photo files below for some fun visuals of the accomplishments of these fabulous kids!
