Terracycling is back at CHES!

The Environmental Cabinet wanted to help with recycling at our school. Upon much discussion about how much is "thrown away" at CHES daily, we found how much of it is really recyclable. Last year, we were recycling juice pouches and chip bags. The students remember being able to recycle these items, and wanted to bring it back. We made signs to show how to recycle, why we should recycle and what we will recycle. These signs were then put up all around our school.

  Mrs. Lisa Dean, a parent volunteer, will be in charge of emptying our bins and shipping the materials off to Terracycle, where they are "upcycled" into all kinds of products that can be purchased.  Check them out at http://www.terracycle.com/en-US/products.html.
