Tornadoes Recycle Project Keeps Trucking
The Tornadoes Recycle project is a cooperative effort between the
school and the county to amplify recycling efforts around the district.
In 2010, the EJSHS Green Team was awarded a $5,000 grant from KDHE to
manage solid waste in our building. In addition to building composting
sites, the grant covered the purchase of recycle bins for each teacher
in the building. The Green Team was eligible for the grant because we
belong to the Kansas Green Schools Network.
In the graph, you will see the building's recycle efforts for the
previous 9-wk. period. The teachers compete weekly, and the Green Team
students are in charge of collecting the data. The school has recycled
1,875 lbs of paper, plastic, cardboard, and glass this semester
already.
