We think we can reduce some of this waste by reusing many of the plastic lids, and cup like: the bottowm cointainer of the yogo yogos that have a prize toy or the cup that come with cereal with the bonyurt. These plastic items can be resused many many times in Art class to put paint, glue or other materials.
 * ANOTHER ACTION:**
 * Box to collect resusable plastic lids and conainer for Art class: We see many plastic things being thrown away at school.

We want to place a box in the triangle with a poster inviting people to place these plastic things(if they are clean). The poster will show examples of what can be placed in it.

 * ACTION**
 * Video:

We are preparing a video as if it were an episode of a programme that promotes the “green” solutions, to environmenta problems. The name of the programme is “The Green Hour”. In this video we are showing how plastic andpaper are being wasted at school. We are going to show how making decisionsabout what be buy and even changing many habits are important to reduce wasteat school and we are also going to share some tips of other things that canhelp to reduce waste of paper and plastic at CCB.

The idea is to use this video to createconsciousness about this problem and communicate these ideas to all the CCBcommunity by:


 * Placing it on the school web page
 * Presenting it on the TV in the school’scafeteria
 * And/or giving a copy to each grade level.

We decided that the best solution to theproblem we researched is to educate people about it. With a video we can get tomore people and show live images that cause an impact on people and showconcrete solutions that can be used in our daily lives.


 * ScrapPaper Boxes in each classroom:

We realised that at school a lot paper thatcould still be used for other things is being thrown away. Some classes don’thave a scrap paper box to reuse paper, so they waste a lot of paper throwing itdirectly into the classroom’s only bin. But even in the classrooms that have a scrap paper box, they do not useit properly.

What we want to do is make some cardboard scrap paper boxes for each classroom, butthey will have information and sloganson the sides presented in an attractive and creative way to explain how to use it properly and why it isso important to reduce the use of paper.

We want to offer these boxes to the classroomsor offices that don’t have one.


 * Askingthe PTA for bins:

We know that we need to use less paper andplastic, but we also know that to reduce the exploitation of resources we can recycle,but to make sure that all our waste is recycled, we need to put it in separatebins.

We were told that the Section that bestseparates the rubbish is Preprimary. We noticed that they have recycling binsin every classroom, but primary doesn’t. We think that this would help reduce the waste,because when the rubbish is mixed up it goes to landfills and does not get recycled.

We want to talk to the PTA to see if they coulddonate these recycling bins for all the Primary classrooms.


 * Printingof circulars

On way that paper is being wasted at school iswhen we print circulars for each student. Many of them are brothers and sisters, so these families receive severalcopies of the same circular.

We want to write a letter to the administratorsproposing these options: 1. To send most circulars by internet. Onlyprint the ones that are for signed permissions. 2. When a circular is going to be sent to allthe students in the school or the section, only send it to the younger brotheror sister.
