Green Summer

I am so proud of my little daughter.  She is Green.  She had to do a project for school.  They are studying government and how laws are made.  They had to write a bill, send it to the senate, argue for the bill and see if the "President" (Principal) would pass the bill and sign in into a school law.  Well the principal liked Summer's proposal so much that she wants Summer to write a letter to the city council asking for her proposal to be accepted by the city in real life.

This is what Summer proposed:  There is so much waste in school lunch that Summer wants to the paper and plastic to be recycled and the food waste to be used for composting.  Hehehe.  I was so proud of Summer for doing such a good job on her project AND for coming up with a solution for the waste at school.  Summer says that there are about 600 students in her school and about 500 of them eat school lunch.  Of those 500 lunches, less than 1/2 of the food is eaten, the rest goes into the trash--that's a lot of trash every day.  And they use paper napkins that can be composted.  Plus that's also a lot of plastic utensils that are thrown away every day.

Good job Summer for thinking GREEN.
