Year 7 PRAXIS
Hi, I am Zeb Thompson, and this is Jack Cuskelly today we are here to discuss the project our cohort have been working on which is the Containers for Change project. We focused on the benefits this initiative could have on our school. By sorting out the cans and bottles, then taking them to the cash deposit, we received a 10-cent refund per container, judging by the number of students participating and the current refunds, this is achieving promising results thus far.
The process for sorting the cans is simple all the way up to the finish
- Firstly, the students in the cohort go and collect the bins assigned by their teacher, then they bring them to a designated area in the school for the sorting process.
- Next, the bins are emptied out and pupils on the bin bag job hold the bags in place. The other students sort the different containers into recyclable and non-recyclable bins.
- After that, we then reline the bins to return them back into their sector of the school.
- Following this, we hold onto the bin bags until we have enough to make a deposit at Containers for Change.
- Finally, when the time comes, we make the walk all the way down to the depot and cash in all our containers we have collected from the previous weeks.
We would really love your support in helping us collect the correct cans into our bins.
How this will impact
This impact we are making is a positive impact that we are improving its damage to the environment both natural and educational. The cans sent to the depo will improve our school by the money collected so we can upgrade our school in positive ways.
