Climate Activists at Work
Last spring, a group of Mrs. Miemis' 6th graders completed projects to reduce the use of plastics in our school. As a result of the project, our cafeteria switched from plastic water bottles to aluminum refillable water bottles, our classrooms went from 2 trash cans to only 1 (eliminating the need for dozens of plastic garbage bags per day), and one group earned nearly $1,000 and purchased a water fountain with a water bottle filling station for the cafeteria lobby. Here's a photo of our filling station team with the new water fountain that was installed over the summer.
