Litter Survey

In this activity students of Tennyson High school took pictures around the school before and after lunch. They went out to the quad area, hallways, in front of the administration office, and the grassy knolls between the halls.
I noticed that before lunch time our school is way more cleaner than after. We compared the pictures and i was shocked.
Before lunch you barely see any kind of trash, maybe a little but its super clean in the morning.
After lunch...omg its a disaster! Food bowls, plastic bottles, pizza wrappers, FOOD, and candy wrappers EVERYWHERE!!!!!
Its crazy, after looking at all these pictures it makes me realize how much people really don't care about the school. I think we should start taking a little bit more pride in Tennyson High School, our school, and start making it look decent.

My 4 R's

I'm not going to lie but at home i"m not the one that throws things away or goes and takes trash to the recycling bins
I usually just put bottles, cardboard, and glass together so that either my brothers or my step dad throws them away. We also reuse a lot of things too, we mostly ALWAYS reuse plastic bottles, we use cardboard boxes to put old things in.
I'm not quite sure about the whole rot thing, I never knew about rotting things, I never heard anyone doing something like that.
At my house we have a whole lots of recycling bins like the one in the picture here on my blog.
We mostly throw away soda bottles or plastic cups we use from restaurants in this recycle bin.

Intro to the Green

Tennyson High School is going green! My blog is about changing our school to make it a better and clean place. The purpose of this blog is to let everyone know and to maybe get involved with recycling and not only making our school clean but cleaning the world up. Here at Tennyson High School I'm not going to lie but it's a disaster. Trash and bottles everywhere. Although we have trash cans everywhere around the school nobody uses them it's like the ground of the school is the trash can. But hopefully by the end of this year things will change and look better.
SLWRP, service learning waste reduction program, is a program where everyone learns to recycle and learns what should and shouldn't be recycled together. It also gets you use to recycling your trash at home.
The 4 R's are; reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot.
Reduce: try not to use a lot of things you might throw away
Reuse: you can still use the things you used before
Recycle: throw trash away in bins that they're suppose to be in
Rot: Compose
I think Tennyson students should really get involved because everyone will understand that we need to make our school look better so we don't get looked down on anymore so we could get a little bit more respect.
