How much packaging do we recycle and throw away?

This weekend Grade Five has a challenge… For two days, 48 hours, collect and clean the packaging materials from your family’s food. Then bring it in to school on Monday to add it to our “Mountain of Food Packaging”.

Yes. This means for two days you will ask your family to help you collect and clean all the wrappers, boxes, bags and tins that would otherwise be recycled or thrown away. Please leave the glass bottles at home, we don’t want to have to worry about broken glass!

Start collecting packaging when you wake up on Saturday, January 23. Finish with the final packaging from Sunday, January 24th.

Don’t forget to bring it all in on Monday… Tuesday will be too late!

For 48 hours, don’t throw me out or recycle me… Clean me, dry me and bring me in to school!
