litter survey

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words

Before

And

After

This activity was to prove and show a with concrete evidence how disgusting and inconsiderate people can be when it comes to cleanliness at school. Before the school day starts off , the scenery is actually clean and somewhat peaceful. But once 11:20 hits and that bell for lunch rings the once cleaned areas begin to slowly and slowly get littered, student by student it gets dirtier by the minute. Area's such as the quad, the administration hall and the grassy area between the halls are where most students spend their lunch time at and that is where it gets littered the most, My peers who are in and support SLWRP, have taken these before and after pictures to show just how different it looks when it's clean and dirty. The amount of trash left behind is ridiculous. It's amazing how much of a difference we could make if we just tried. The places that are most populated and the areas on the way back to class are where you will find the most littered spots. As shown in the picture the grassy area used to be a very green and cleaned open area but with the littering, it makes it look ugly and dirty.

If I recycle so should YOU!

For lunch I like to gulp down on a ice cold refreshment from the vending machines, and here it shows that I had finished drinking my Gatorade o nd I'm ready and really excited to throw it in the recycling bin because it is just so much fun! I recycle on a daily basis and every Tuesday night I empty out my garbage bin full of recyclables like water bottles and milk containers and also plastic things like my little sister old broken toys and after that I throw it into the black garbage container outside, for waste management to come pick it up the next morning.
I also like to save up all the old newspapers that I don't need to throw away all together and throw it all out in the house so I can put it in the larger garbage bin. Or an alternative thing that you can do is save all the bottles till you think you have enough and drive it down to the recycling center nearest you. From home to school i enjoy the feeling of knowing I did something to keep my community clean.

Intro. letter

hey guys,
Welcome to my blog. My name is Michelle and I'm here to bring you major updates on how TENNYSONS GETTIN' THEIR GREEN ON! As most of you know taking care of the enviorment is really important, it effects everyone, in every way you could possibly think of. Here at Tennyson we are trying to motivate all the students to try and keep our campus clean and green. Giving more information on the 4 r's can give people the opportunity to KNOW more so that they can DO more. It's beneficial for everyone, not to mention the it keeps the earth feeling and lookin' at its best! Do you do the 4r's?
*recycle
*reduce
*reuse
*rot
if not, your doing harmful and hazardous things to your community and yourself.
it really isn't that hard, its almost effortless.
- Recycling at home can be throwing away anything from papers to milk cartons in the black recycling bin.
-Reducing can just mean conserving money and buying less things that you want to things that you need.
-Reducing is simple, you can sell or donate clothing that you don't wear anymore that way instead of throwing it out its being reused and not in the dump.
-Rot, sounds gross, but you need things to rot in order to make compose and make healthy foods that you can enjoy everyday. Basically, instead of grinding left over food from dinner down to the drain you can throw it in you green bin located outside of the house where your dad puts the yard trimmings in.

See, its not so bad, and it's totaly worth it, your helping the enviorment and your lifestyle.

who said being green WASN'T cool!
