Special blog post

Progress: We went up to the School Janitor and he revealed to us about the number of trash bags which he changes daily and the answers are truly surprising.
Each day, the trashbags are being replaced in the classrooms, teachers' offices, cafeterias, football fields, restrooms and out door campus around school.Trash cans cover a wide area at school and an estimate of 75 trash bags are changed to view every day.Yes, this sounds insant and what good actions can we implement to reduce the plastic usage which is harmful to our planet?
There are some action steps we can help save the planet. First, if each smaller size trashcan is not full by the end of day, the janitor should combine the trash with others. Secondly, students should consider to use reusable containers to store food so less disposable plates or utensils are being thrown in the trashcans.Last but not least, we only found two recycle bins in the cafeteria and to our action proposal, we must add few more on campus because we drink water in bottles or soda in cans in between calsses and we tend to fill up the trashcan space withour any considration. Because of that, more space is occupied with no rebybling action being taken.
