"Recycle, Recycle, Recycle!"

Isabel and I (Suz) have been working with the brilliant and talented Grade 5 teacher Suzanne Lapierre and her students at Lord Tennyson School on their latest campaign - "recycling." Recycling is a simple way to save trees, sea creatures, precious metals, water and lots of carbon - yet it is still not being done by most of us. 75% of all of our trash can actually be recycled - paper, yard waste, food waste, metal, glass and plastics are all ending up in our land fills.  So the Grade 5s have taken this issue to heart and are educating fellow classmates on easy ways they can reduce trash created at school.  This month the Grade 5s are focussing student's attention on litterless lunches!  This is one of the very important projects being facilitated by Rocky Mountain Flatbread Education Society to encourage "responsible citizenship" amongst our young leaders of today.  Go Grade 5ers go!
