how about we actuall kepp our bottles of water and just refill them instead of throwig them out save the environment and money
ReplyDeleteI think that this is smart because when people just drink water and throw it away, they are wasting money and the world
DeleteThis would help a lot because we are spending way to much money on water bottles and that the enviroment is getting worse and worse. They are even starting to dump garbage in the ocean wich is not go9od at all.
DeleteI think that is a good idea because people are wasting money to get a bring while they could out of the water fountin and save money
Deletewe recycle with the bins and we throw away all the things that harm our envirment like paper soda bottles and cans.
Deleteoh hi:(
DeleteSomething that HBMS does to improve our school community, is we can email our HW
ReplyDeleteIf u do this, we can save paper and not waste ink. Lots of students have to print their HW but if we email it, then we can save paper and ink
There's actually a downside to that, though, Claudia. Even though it's a good idea, some of us don't check our emails every single night. I, for one, don't.
DeleteThe responsibility is our own, though.
YA but if u send it to teachers they probably check their emails a lot so it would be a good idea
DeleteThere is also a problem with that to. Some kids may not have an e-mail address and some of do not have a computer or internet.
DeleteHmm...If the teachers are up for it, then, I'd say that it's a good idea :)
DeleteWhat do you mean?
DeleteIf the teachers are up for checking their emails every day, then it'd be a good idea.
DeleteI would like to add though, that there's the possibility that the email may not get sent to the teachers, therefore qualifying for a missing homework assignment.
Also, something can happen to your computer and it may not get sent. Viruses, crashes and scams can do this.
DeleteDo you think this would be a better point to keep going on "What steps has HBMS taken to go green?"
DeleteThough there are some positive attributes to emailing homework, the negative sides over rule them.Therefore, it is a bad idea.Teachers have to print the homework that is emailed to them at the school's printer. This is because they have to edit it and hand it back to a student for a grade. It is sometimes in lesson plans to look at grades and ask questions about mistakes made. When printing all the students homework in the school's printer, more ink is wasted that should be used for things like projects.
DeleteI think it is a good idea to email homework to teachers but if we do send emails for homework to teachers we all will have to have an email.
DeleteInstead of only using two lanes on a blank piece of paper on hmwk, use as much as possible on the hmwk.
ReplyDeleteThis can make the paper look sloppy and like you just wrote random stuff. This is affective thought if you are neat. This is just my opinion though. Respond to mine or just respond to this. Thanks!!!!
Deleteif you do it skillfully
DeleteI agree with Sean, i can usaully get three rows of problems (math problems i mean) on a piece of paper and it looks fine.
DeleteI believe that if we use fire pits or fire places, we can cut back on gas that we use for radiators or other alternate source of heating. This could save us gas each time we use it. This could help because since gas is a natural resource, we can run out. Besides, people sometimes turn on radiators and leave them on. Finally, this can save people money. Please leave your opinion and reply. Thanks!!!!!
ReplyDeletegoog idea but at school we could not have wood burning stoves but at home thats is a beast of an idea
DeleteThat is what I was meaning. I sorta went ahead. OOOPPPS!!!!
DeleteThanks for respoding though!!!
But what will we burn, trees, thats bad for the Earth!?
DeleteIt is a renewable resource, Besides, If we use dead trees, It can work
DeleteUnless you burn the extra homework or the finished hmwk
DeleteLOL!!!!
Deleteyoure welcome
Delete:)
Sometimes We Need Rescources As Gas Electricity And Other Things That Are Against Saving The Enviroment So We Should Cut Back On Stuff Like That.
DeleteHBMS is going green by having spirit days:
ReplyDelete~cancelled stamps
~soda tabs
~card fronts
~stuffed animals
~etc.
This reduces waste because we no longer have to throw these items out when we no longer need them.
I like how you wrote about what the schol does. I would've never thought of that.
DeleteThat is a good idea!!!!
DeleteIt is a good thing our school is full of spirit so we can accomplish our goals of going green.
DeleteYes, the drives are preventing more trash. If we work even harder at them, we can prevent more waste. However, some people just take the tabs off the soda bottles, and still throw them out. If people recycle the bottles, it's ok.
DeleteI think it's a good idea to give fronts of cards so the card will not be wasted.
DeleteI never realized that our spirit projects not only help others, but they help the environment. Now we just have to get everyone to participate to really make a difference!
DeleteAt lunch we should get trays like we had at the elementry school we never through them out and all we had to do was stack the the trays and they would wash them here at the middle school all we do is throw out stirophome trays and watch the garbage stack up.
ReplyDeleteit is important that w go green because if we dont the earth will be an over sized dump and lets be honest how fun would it be to live in that type of stench. please reply thanks!
DeleteMaking the plastic tray costs more than the stirophome containers. This is why we do not have plastic trays. Besides, we have such a big school, it would be so expensive!!!!
Deletewell we could just wash them it may caust more up first but in the long run you save money :o)
DeleteTell that to the company who makes our lunch!!!! :)
Deletei agree with this.
Deletei know and its cleaner
DeleteI agree with that, I mean where do you think they put all of the garbage???!!!!
DeleteI do agree that they probably do it to save money. However, if the plastic trays are used enough, money could be saved as well as the environment. Also, paper trays fall apart when hot food is placed on them. Why the elementary school does this and we don't? I don't know.....
DeleteHBMS has gone green because we use smartbords then paper and we have bin recycling in every classroom and also in the lunchroom.
ReplyDeleteThe smart boards would not be going green but using the white board would be
DeleteWhat we can do to improve going green at HBMS is to:
ReplyDelete~use automatic hand dryers or
~automatic towel dispensers or
~hand towels
This would save trees because we are not wasting paper towels as much. This also means less waste in landfills, etc.
Yes, but as long as the hand towels are washed!
DeleteI don't think this is such a great idea..... Automatic hand dryers do not work nearly as well. Automatic towel dispensers don't save any paper... Just the trouble we take to get towels. Classic hand towels would collect TONS of germs that would be spread and more kids would get sick.
DeleteHBMS has tried to take steps to improve in going green. Our community has bought smart boards so we dont have to write on paper as much. We also have bought recycled paper.
ReplyDelete
DeleteI think the smart boards are a good idea because it will save all the work the teachers write on it, when the teachers tell the class to get out paper and pencil the paper will end up in the recicaling bins lateer and smart board are better because the student can play on the smart bord to learn
DeleteWhen we GO GREEN, it has a big impact on our school and community, and it is very important. Every day, energy is being wasted. Trees are being cut down. Pollution is spreading. and there are so many more problems. We are slowly killing the earth. We go green to save our Earth.
ReplyDeletei agree
Deleteme too
Deletethat is true
DeleteI don't understand why people do this to the environment. They're just harming themselves - they live on earth!!
Deleteyes :)
Deletewe are going green in highbridge by using the the backs of all the peaces of paper that we use and when we print we only print things that is necisary
ReplyDeletethe trays idea is from what i heard is in action so this is going green by not filling the land fills with stirophome and we even have a dump in high bridge so we are going green
ReplyDeleteGOING GREEN makes a huge impact in our school and in our community. When we go green, we take steps to save our Earth. Earth is the only place that can support life, but if we continue to treat the Earth as we normally do, one day our planet may no longer be safe. GOING GREEN saves the Earth from further damage and mends it from past damage. By doing this we ensure that the Earth is a safe place.
ReplyDeleteI agree with maddie because going green has a big inpact in our school.
DeleteIt is important to go green because you can save Earth. By doing this, you are able to save energy, trees, and light. Lots of people participate in activities that are green. We should all pitch in together to save our planet.
ReplyDeleteSome ways we can improve going green are...
-you can email homework
-use front and backs of papers
-donating clothes
By doing some of these things we can help out our community and environment. Our world is being polluted and we need to save it. Everyday our planet is being weakened. If our community pitches in we can save our livly world.
I agree completely.
DeleteSo do i. i email my typed homework sometimes to, usually we do use both sides of the paper in school, and we have our spirit days in school.
DeleteGood job Claudia, p.s this is Hannah herrmann so you know
i was on this because Svetlana said that she replied to my comment from like a month or two ago
see ya
hey Mrs, smith or lazier how do you become a member on this website
just wondering.
I think that those are really good ideas.
DeleteHBMS has taken many steps to improve the environment and "go green." We often are only allowed to print out our homework in the morning from the printers at school if it is an emergency. A few years ago, people used to freely print out as many random pictures and papers from the school printers, but now it is limited.
ReplyDeletei agree except we dont use it for emergencies, we can use it everyday if we didnt use a printer at home or at another location.
DeleteI AGREE WITH LE YOU JULIO! If people printed like 900 copies, even if it was accidental, it would be le very le unefficient/ energy wise. Is that what you say? Energy wise? Idk, but you catch my drift.
DeleteFrom: Augustus
Yeah but its an emergency if you don't have a printer because then you can't print your homework out.
Deleteyes. this I can agree with J.T. Nicely put. :D
DeleteTHANKS MD and le august :)
DeleteI agree completely
DeleteOne thing that HBMS has done to go green is opening or close windows during either the summer or winter time. During the summer time, teachers can open windows to let in cool air instead of air conditioners. During the winter time, we can keep the windows closed and have no heat so certain rooms dont become overheated.
ReplyDeleteDuring the winter, we keep the windows closed but we have to have some heat or it will be too cold... But it's always really hot in certain rooms, so we should just decrease the heat and not totally take the heat away
DeleteI Agree
DeleteThis is true, but some teachers, open windows in the winter to coool down their rooms, which wastes money and electricity, for the dollars the school spends on heat is literally going out the window. This is not finacially smart, but it also so green.
DeleteHBMS taken so many steps to go green but the best is keeping recycling bins in every classroom.
ReplyDeletei agree
Deletei was going to say that! but i like the idea
Deleteaw man. please dont take off my post because i did the same thing mine was a good long post
DeleteHigh Bridge Middle School goes green by not using the TV's that much.
ReplyDeleteHow does that help the school go green?
DeleteIt helps save energy!!!!
DeleteIt saves energy, but it is a waste of the harmful products that make up the tv because are not using them.
DeleteHBMS is alreay taking steps to go green by reusing papers in different classes. Many teachers have the same lessons for classes they have in different grades. Teachers have been saving paper and ink by telling students not to write on articles and other papers they use in class. At the end of class the teachers collect the papers and save them for the next class in which they are teaching the same lesson. This way instead of printing 60 copies of a story, the teacher only need to print 20. HBMS is being green already, but there are surely more ways to do so.
ReplyDeleteThats a great example of how we are green
Deleteit is very good to go green at hbms we are glad to be green no body should litter at hbms or thats not called going green
DeleteThere are many things that HBMS has done to go green. Teachers have recycling bins in the classrooms to keep the trash from overflowing from the other trash cans.
ReplyDeleteI am actually impresed that the school has started to place recycling cans in 5the classrooms for all the paper that the students used but they needed to redo their papers this way the paper does't go into the trash cans and goes to the garbage dumps infesting and killing animals that may think its food.o i am very proud about the changes that have been made at the school.
ReplyDeleteWhat does the last sentence mean with o i????
DeleteI agree.
Deleteyou spelled "the" worng.....
DeleteAt HBMS we are going green by printing documents out double-sided and reducing the use of water cleaning out trays by using styrofoam trays. This is beneficial because when we print things out double-sided it leads to less paper being used for printing and more for saving for future use.
ReplyDeletethis is true but the school NEEDS too reduce the styrofoam trays and the food in it;)
DeleteI agree partially. We should use reusable trays instead of paper and styrofoam tray. This material is REALLY bad for the environment.
Deletewe are going Green right now by not having and light on in computer class!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou seem very enthusiastic about this GB.
Deletei agree with Garret on that one!
DeleteI Agree
DeleteThe lights are on in our computer class. How come you guys got to go green but we didnt? >:(
DeleteThis school has horrible lunch trays. They are filled with chemicals, and they make a squeaking noise that hurts my ears.
ReplyDeletethey should go back to the old lunch trays which will not take up too much money in the schools budget which is making money fly out the window so we should just go back to the old trays which will only make the lunch ladys work a little longer but who cares... its better than getting sick by cafeteria luch trays.
Deletelast sentence redo... its better than getting sick by cafeteria lunch trays.
Deletethe old lunch trays could injuer someone!!!
DeleteEXACTLY!
DeleteHigh Bridge Middle School is currently going green by use flashdrives to save our projects instead of printing out a million copies of the same thing. Using flashdrivers is saving paper and ink, therefore going green!
ReplyDeleteI agree, and it also keeps students more organized because they can make individual folders in their flashdrive for each class! I do that.
DeleteWays HBMS is going green:
ReplyDeleteHBMS is going green in a variety of ways, but one of the ways is turning off lights. Whenever noone is in the room, teachers turn off the lights to conserve energy. If lights were left on, it would cost the school money that we don't have, and we would waste energy.
True that, brother!
DeleteYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZAAAAAAAAAA!
DeleteHBMS is going green by doing all the service projects that we do. Not only are we helping people and charities, but we are reusing things for a good cause. Even though it is little things that we are collecting and reusing like card fronts and soda tabs they make a big difference.
ReplyDeletewe are also going Green by not using the television sets we paid for in the cafiteria!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh. True story.
DeleteGarret...thats amazing(: and true. I hear they used to have special days when they watced tv during lunch.
DeleteI heard that to. It was like....3-4 years ago or somethingg. and ha. haha. Amazing butterflies..
DeleteAt HBMS we are going green by not printing as many colored images to the color printer. That way we are saveing a tree and spending less money on colored ink. So this world will be cleaner than ever. :):} :] :o
ReplyDeleteHMBS is also going green by printing out as few copies of papers as possible when the teachers and students have the chance to
ReplyDeleteThe impact on HBMS and the High Bridge community by going green is that the town and school will become cleaner and a safer place to live. Going green should be going on in every town in New Jersey and the country. By taking these small steps to going green, the community and the world will be a better and healthier place to live.
ReplyDeleteThe school is actually realy good at recycling bottles and cans, i havnt seen a water bottle in the trash can since third grade!
ReplyDeleteIt is important to go green because if we just through out paper and not recycle or through out bottles and cans, its polluting the earth which is not good. If the earth is polluted, it is not healthy to live in. Eventually, we will all die.
ReplyDeletei dont think so!!!!!!!!!
Deletewhat is the real definition of recycling?
ReplyDeletei can find it out for you or you can go on dictionary.com
DeleteP.s this is hannah herrmann
6th grade
recycle means:
Delete1. to treat or process (used or waste materials) so as to make suitable for reuse: recycling paper to save trees.
2.
to alter or adapt for new use without changing the essential form or nature of: The old factory is being recycled as a theater.
3.
to use again in the original form or with minimal alteration: The governor recycled some speeches from his early days.
4.
to cause to pass through a cycle again: to recycle laundry through a washing machine.

What does REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE supposed to do to help the earth?
DeleteWaste, and how we choose to handle it, affects our world's environment—that's YOUR environment. The environment is everything around you including the air, water, land, plants, and man-made things. And since by now you probably know that you need a healthy environment for your own health and happiness, you can understand why effective waste management is so important to YOU and everyone else. The waste we create has to be carefully controlled to be sure that it does not harm your environment and your health.

That is a good idea.
DeleteHgh Bridge Middle School is currently trying to go green in many ways. The school trys to make sure you recycling and not littering. We are also trying to go green by using the two sides of paper, also intsead of using a different paper in the same class the teaches collect them for the next day instead of using new papers.
ReplyDeleteWe can try to go green by using the trays we had at the elemtary school. at the midddle shcool we use foam which the earth can not break down easliy. our school is doing many things to help the earth but we alsoneed to do more.
We have this website to tell other people what we can do to save our Earth! if we keep stating ways to save our planet, we could actually go outside and DO these things! this website is like a brainstorm of a project. to start doing the project, we can just go on a trail or by the river for just 30 min. and pick up trash! theres plenty of it to go around!(not happy about that) this website is just another way we go green!
ReplyDeleteHBMS has helped the environment by using recycling bins and reminding us about recycling as much as we can, instead of throwing these recyclable items away. We could plant trees in the front lawn of the School's property. This will help our community by making it cleaner, as well as the air. It is important to go green because it will make you look like you actually care.
ReplyDeleteWhen nobody is in the classroom, teachers turn off the lights to save energy. Our school is also using flash drives to help not keep printing papers. The environmaent is everything around you so help protect it! Our school collects many things to recycle or for charites to donate. You can do that on your own to!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAt hbms we can hang up posters for going green.We can also say it on the annoucements.The impact it will have is that the word will spread in the communitty and the world will go green.It is important to go green so the earth does not break down.
ReplyDeleteTo me go green means do what you can to help the envirnoment. we have to learn to take care of the envirnoment. We never fo anything to help. the earth needs help. it cant take care of its self. its not like us it is just a planet. we need to take action and help the earth. it is not fair to the earth. it lets us like on it. with out the eearth we would have no0 were to live. we need to take action
ReplyDeleteI think we should put posters up to let all people know not to litter. Maybe that would work. Or we can have a huge get together for the whole town, get food and drinks and talk about not littering. Or we can do both and have double the fun!!!!!! Lets go GREEN!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are many ways that HBMS has taken to go green. One way that i remember from the school year are the earth assemblies we have had. The assemblies keep the students aware how much the earth has affected us. The earth has affected us in so mant ways, global warming is going on, the air is being poluted by those people who do not car-pool or hitch a ride from friends. THere are many other steps we can take but we are trying our best.
ReplyDeletehigh Bridge has take action buy haveing assembilies. they help to keep the students informes about what has happened to the earth. we have also had a special club to go down to the river. when we went to the river we helped to make sure that the river is still clean.
ReplyDeleteI think that we at High Bridge Middle School we should plant a bunch of trees in the front of the school. ir=t would be really cool. and in staid of us having earth day we chould have earth week. through out the week we should plant and clean up all over High Bridge
We have this website to tell other people what we can do to save our Earth! if we keep stating ways to save our planet, we could actually go outside and DO these things! this website is like a brainstorm of a project. to start doing the project, we can just go on a trail or by the river for just 30 min. and pick up trash! theres plenty of it to go around!(not happy about that). picking up trash will cause a decrease of polution of our world, the only world that humans can live on! hopefully our community will take this seriously and prevent kids from throwing trash on the ground. this website is just another way we go green!
ReplyDeleteTrue that brudda:D
DeleteOther ideas that i can think HBMS can do are posting signs around the school. We can also get a ride from other friends.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to go green because we have to sae our earth if we want the earth to live. The impact will not be good because allready the earth is global warming and global warming is not good. he community will be poluted too by all the cars.
ReplyDeleteWe should keep our water bottles when we are done and we can also claen up garbage in the town.
ReplyDeleteyeah we save the earth and save money
Deletefor going green we can also have the commuintity clean up the streets and rivers.We can also use eletric planes.because so we do not polute the air.and we should not use oil any more.We should run on battier only.
ReplyDeleteWe can recycle
ReplyDelete~ cans
~ bottles
~ plastic
~ and etc.
GO GREEN!!!
I think that is a really good idea some people forget to recycle and instead they just throw their bottles right in the garbage.
DeleteIn the elementary school, we had days for recycling at lunch. We don't now, though. So let's just use plastic containers everyday! Besides, they save us trips to walk over to the garbage cans.
Deletethat is a really good idea. some people forget to recycle
ReplyDeleteOur school should pick up all garbage they see because leaving it there is just as bad as throwing it away in the first place.
ReplyDeletetrue that, but throwing the stuff on the ground it worse
DeleteYeah, I think thats a good idea. Maybe sort of like that thing we did in enviormental club where we went on the Columbia Trail and picked up trash.
DeleteWhen I walk home in the woods all you see is liter we should have every month we should have a day were we clean up all of High Bridge
ReplyDeleteThat would take a long time! and why do you walk home in the woods?
DeleteThe Woods Are A Short Way To My House
DeleteWe should have a field trip to go clean up the world from evil garbage monsters!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a... intresting field trip. *Rolls eyes*
DeleteI vote for that field trip, tell that at the next student leadership meeting
DeleteSorry but I don't think there are such things as an evil garbage monster...sorry. Having a field trip could be a good idea but it would also be a bit tiring.
DeleteThe lunch rooms can use reusable trays instead of the 1use ones
ReplyDeleteSomeone already mentioned that don't u read the comments?
Deleteschools should reduse, reuse,and recycle! Schools should also try to use less electricity. By using whiteboards instead of smartboards. :)
ReplyDeleteI REGECT THIS COMMENT
DeleteIf you ride a bike to work or school, carpool,you can reduce greenhouse gasess.
ReplyDeleteYeah, thats a really good idea. People should work to set up carpools. Maybe not the bikes, though, because High Bridge is so hilly. But the carpools are a good idea.
DeleteWe should really start a Enviormental club, or a recycling club, or something like that. That way, we could actully put some of the stuff we talked about into action! I mean, it wouldn't be that hard! If we could find a teacher and a bunch of students who wanted to do this, I'm sure it could work. It would also help educate the other students about the enviorment and how we can make our homes, school, and even town go green.
ReplyDeleteIf we worked on this alot, maybe the club could even become a big part of student council. The club could give assemblies every new marking period to tell the other students what the found out and try to encourage them to help the enviorment as well. The club could also try to research things that would helo the school go green and try to actully make them happen.
Great idea if we can get a teacher who cares an students we can put all of these ideas to action.
DeleteWe should use up all the paper and than get more paper to save trees.
ReplyDeleteOOPS! I worded this wrong!
DeleteIf you ride your bike or walk to school you can save a lot of gas.
ReplyDeletegood idea gas is a major factor of pollution.
DeleteHigh Bridge is really classified as a walking community- that's why we have no busses. So everyone should walk to school sometimes. I do everyday!
Deletewe can use all sorts of used things to make art projects.
ReplyDeleteWhen I ride my bike I see a lot of trash on the ground. Our school or community should make a group of people and get together every week and walk around town picking up trash. It would be better for the enviroment and for our living.
ReplyDeleteOur school does a lot for our enviroment not just recycle. Which we do a lot of (there is a recycling bin in every classroom). We are planting a new tree. During Super Storm Sandy a tree fell down in the front of the school, we are replanting it in the same place. But we should save paper or use recycled paper.
ReplyDeleteif u plant a based lunch u will reduce the ammout of global warming.and rather then drinking a bottled water you can use the schools water fountains
ReplyDeleteGood thinking. the school tries to buy us water bottles and offer them for 1$ but we can just get a drink from the water fountain. Not only is the school wasting money, there is no need to pay for water when its free!!!!!!!
DeleteI agree with you james if you have a water fountain in the school why pay for water. Paying for water is a waste of money and plastic
DeleteYou guys are forgetting that the school does this to raise money... And most people don't feel like walking upstairs for a drink and I haven't seen anyone this... I would never buy water there though, you can get it after lunch in the hall or from home if you don't like WARM water.
DeleteI think that it is a good idea but instead of keeping it we should recycle it and then use it again and again
ReplyDeleteAlthough the school does a lot by inviting envirionmentalists to encourage students to recycle, the school can do much more. The High Bridge Middle School can start an enviromental club. In this club, students could help pick up trash found on the ground or try to find a way to power a light bulb with the wind. Instead of using regular paper, the school can buy recycled paper. It will help save trees, and the recycled paper is much cheaper and much stronger than regular paper. Also, people that do not live far from the school can ride their bike or walk instead of driving. This saves gas and gives less polution to the air.
ReplyDeleteLenmy, our school has recycling bins. We have good teachers but I don't think they can think of a way to power light bulbs with the wind, no offense. We're not exactly that into environmental-friendly equipment but it would be cool..
DeleteWhat if our school provided bigger recycling bins at lunch instead of 2 large garbage cans? Therefore, it would be more convenient to recycle and more kids would take the time to do so. Plus, garbage cans wouldn't overflow onto the floor.
ReplyDeleteYes Laura, I know the school has recycling bins. The recycled items are used to create another item. I do not understand your point with your first sentence. I am just saying that instead of buying new paper from dead trees, just buy recycled paper. It saves money, is better for the envirionment, and is stronger than regular paper. I know I am right about this, so my idea for buying recycled paper is fine. Next, I was giving an example. I know it is not possible to power a light bulb with the wind, but maybe if it was possible the teachers could try to get the members of the Environmental Club to do it. And lastly, I know. Atleast we can try.
ReplyDeleteWe can do rough drafts typed, so we dont use as much paper as handwritten first drafts with lines skipped. This also makes it easier for the student to revise the paper.
ReplyDeleteWe should not use styrofoam lunch trays because they do not decompose. Reusable plastic trays are better.
Using ingredients from local ariea in cafeteria food helps to save gasses from plane engines, as imported foods need a plane ride to transport them.
if our school provided more recycling bins, would it actually do anything??? NO!!!!! Its peoples own choice to whether they want to recycle or not. no matter how many recycling bins we put in our school it will not be a success. Nobody chooses to sort through there lunch and find recyclable materials. the school would only waste money on new recycling bins and this event would have a negative outcome.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to go green because it is good for the enviroment and people. It is important to the enviroment so the air,ground,trees and much more. It is important to the people because if there is poluted air the people would not want to live there or want to even go outside. Those are some important reasons of why to Go Green.
ReplyDeleteYou could join an environmental club. There, activities such as picking up trash at the Colombia Trail could be done. Also, we could learn about endangered animals to see how we can further help them.
ReplyDeleteGo green is important because it would be good for the envirement and it would make the world a better place by: recycleng, picking up garbge, and saving water.
