Each day for the past week each time the students would throw away trash we would keep it in a separate bag, I never told the students the reason until Wednesday. We counted our trash from the week (only snack trash) and we had a total of 103 pieces. After counting we brainstormed on ways we could cut our snack trash in half next week so we can reduce the amount of trash that is going into our landfills each day. All of the students had wonderful ideas and we will count the snack trash next week to let everyone know our final number! Wish us luck!
Chase mentioned to the class about going and buying one of these snack bags, he says doing this will cut in half the ziplock bags our class uses a day for chips, cookies, fruit, etc.
Here are the lucky volunteers counting the trash..YUCK..yes they had on gloves!
