Keeping KBS Beautiful!

What are we going to do now we've finished our EPA Investigation?

We had a meeting to discuss what we found when we carried out our investigation of the KBS school environment. Then we decided what action we would take to help keep KBS beautiful. Here is a list of what we have decided to do:

* We want to keep the 'KBS EPA' (Environmental Protection Agency) going.
   (We will collect rubbish daily to keep the environment clean)

* We are going to organise a promotion to stop littering. We are in the process 
   of designing posters which we are going to put around the school and in our
   KBS newsletters.

* We are going to share our message at Whanau time (During 'Keep NZ 
   Beautiful Week'). We are putting together a movie / slide show to show
   what we discovered and what we want to do about it. Our message is:

   "If we don't look after our environment it will end up looking like a rubbish
    dump!"

* We are going to encourage the 'Four R's' - Rethink, Reuse, Recycle, Reduce
  (especially composting and recycling which do happen in the school already).

WE NEED TO CHANGE THE WAY PEOPLE THINK SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE BETTER CHOICES ABOUT WHAT THEY DO WITH RUBBISH AND OTHER WASTE.

  1. Hi Studio 26,

    We have enjoyed looking at your blog this morning. We are also learning about how to keep our environment clean.
    We noticed that you had discovered lots of food wrap around the school. Here are some things that we do that might help...
    Courtney said "We try to put all our food wrap back in our lunch boxes to take home."
    Callum said "We rinse out our yoghurt pottles in the classroom and use them for other things."
    Madison said "We put our food scraps in the bokashi bucket."
    We are also trying to keep our environment clean. Thanks for the great work you are doing KBS EPA!!!
