Trash on Your Back Make your Every Day Earth Day
Trash on Your Back Make your Every Day Earth Day
Instituto Thomas Jefferson Zona Esmeralda
Students from Elementary, Middle and High School participate in a 24 hours Zero Waste Challenge at school. All the trash cans are removed for an entire day of activities, and students and teachers should carry their trash can in a cloth bag on their back. Exercise should continue during all day activities outside school. The next morning all trash is collected and weighed. This challenges everyone to live a zero waste day, separate their trash to recyle it, to generate less trash, to reuse stuff, etc. We choose this date to celebrate International Mother Earth Day.
