School Garbage 101

So, last week was the official start of our school's recycle/compost lunch monitor project. Plastic gloves on, Kylie, 4 by my side-grabbing garbage like it is gold!
Too funny. Students stopping before they throw away all their precious items. The assortment of full h2o bottles, the gourmet sandwiches, the fresh fruit and vegetables so carefully cut and sliced. All down the drain. The "green" compost bin awaiting these gems to be rotted and eating up by our worms. The blue soda cans, h20 bottles, etc. being used for a little extra money where it is needed. The brown paper box throws out the infamous brown paper bags, and the cardboard boxes of lunchables. Students being conscious of the cycles of life and the beauty that comes from caring, being a part of the earth instead of against it. Here is our future getting out their and being TRUE "Stewards for and of the EARTH".
