Green team next meeting - what a waste!

First of all the result of our poll!
(Don't forget to vote next time you are here on this site!)

It takes, 80 - 100 years for a tin can (think soup or vegetable) to degrade (break down and disappear) if it ends up in the garbage dump.
That's a long time!!

Think about what would happen if this can were to be recycled instead?

Now think about the following items:

wool sock glass bottle pop can (aluminum plastic bag
plastic 6-pack ring plastic pop bottles banana orange peel paper rubber heel on a leather shoe leather boot Styrofoam cup



We will investigate the biodegradability of the above items?
Would they take days, weeks, months or years to degrade in a garbage dump?
Where else could these items go instead of our garbage?

See you Thursday, October 11 at lunchtime for our next meeting.
Bring a boomerang or littlerless lunch!
Remember new Green Team members always welcome!!

It's Waste Reduction Week in Canada Oct. 15 - 21, 2007
We'll also think about what WE can do as the Green Team of MV during this time!
