Happy Earth Day!
I’ll be celebrating our planet today with students at The Sage School in Massachusetts. I plan to tell them a bit about TRACKING TRASH (of course) … and I’m hoping that they will tell me a little more about their Trash-Free Lunch Day. This is what I’ve learned from their school website:
Students, as well as the faculty and administration, are being encouraged to use reusable containers and avoid plastic wrappers, bags, foil lids, and single-use cups, bottles, and caps. Since trash receptacles will not be available in the lunchroom or classrooms during snack and lunch periods on Trash-Free Lunch Day, everyone will bring all leftover trash and food items, including milk cartons and sandwich wrappers, home with them.
What a fabulous idea! Carting lunch trash home from school is sure to open some eyes.
So, how will you open eyes today?
