After our initial "Where is 'Away'?" project, we noticed that many items were being placed in the wrong containers, with recyclables heading to the landfills or recyclable materials not being properly washed out, and thus becoming unable to be recycled. Since we were in the midst of beginning other academic projects, this became a mini side project for interested students (thanks Mila, August, Dillon, Thomas, Chandler, Merlin, Cruz, and Steven!) We took this problem and asked ourselves: How can we get information out to the SK community in a bold, creative, and above all, simple way? Rather than an informational poster, students decided to convey new information on a recycling truck. To keep it simple, they posted two questions on the truck: 1) Is what you are throwing away recyclable? (Examples provided) and 2) Have you washed it out? Head to our atrium to check out this awesome installation, basically made in the spur of the moment! It will be hung on Monday 5/20. Some of our 3/4s facilitated "teach-ins" on this installation at the K-2 lunch and 5-8 lunch to teach students how to properly recycle and interact with their poster.
