- Green Games power points (50 MB max) rough draft due
- Food waste recycling evaluation
-good signage for what green bins can take--use photos, should be near garbage cans...or eventually remove garbage cans!,
check out areas that have greater need (high traffic lunch areas e.g. main foyer, foods rooms, staff room, conference room...),
have a room with big sink to wash in!, minimize stair cases between school bins and outside dumping bin, bins with higher
handles, sporadically placed throughout the school to encourage their use/discourage use of garbage cans. Give
it time.... more use as the word spreads. Encouraging promo techniques...not attacks.
Sign for outside bin so that visitors on weekend do not put in inappropriate stuff.
