Zero Waste

 

Continuing the Project
in 2003

Prince of Peace Takes the Torch from St. SilvesterYou can't change the world in one day, or one year - we tried and it's not possible. Of course, someone also once said, "impossible is a word found in a dictionary of fools", so building on the work from the St. Sylvester Gr. 7/8 class last year, the Enviro Crew of Prince of Peace has continued the Race to Zero Waste. Here are some of the ways we've continued this project.

Updated the website with some new ideas
Continued to send letters to companies that we think need to change their packaging
Continued to contact government officials to ask them to pay attention to the issue of Zero Waste
Encouraged other schools to have a Waste Free lunch day
Set up a compost for our school to get people ready for Task Force 2010 coming to Scarborough
Invited other schools to attend our environmental conference of young minds


There is so much to do in this project and in reality our work can never be over. What we hope we've continued most of all is getting people to stop and think about the waste they create. We've started to think about it - now it's your turn!
