day three of recycling our lunches:
rather than a half filled 50 gallon trash bag being used for my students at lunch time, we have reduced our waste to the size of a VERY small grocery bag. we recycle our paper trays and our milk cartons. we pull out anything i can throw in my compost pile, and any unused condiments and utensils. i even have three kids that have now spearheaded the project themselves and do the sorting for the class. even those that are unsure about what to recycle have the sense to ask someone who does know (me or my three liasons).
so proud of these kids, and sort of proud of myself for finally taking a chance and making recycling a part of our daily lesson.

This is so wonderful Arielle!!!
