Lunch Waste Audit
On Tuesday Feb.8th the Green Team 3 parents and 20 students from grades 1-5 conducted Caleb's first lunch waste audit. Students sorted lunch waste into 5 categories: 1) Milk Cartons- emptied 2) Compostables 3) Non-compostable food waste 4) Recyables 5) Non-recyables. Volume and weight were recorded and will be presented to school in the next few weeks. Students who helped were awarded a free mini-pizza from Papa Murphys Pizza. The 5th grade students will be creating a poster/lay-out of all the data recorded. Here are some pictures from the audit:
