What's next?

Everyone knows that bottled water creates mountains and mountains of plastic garbage! Only a fraction of the number of plastic bottles created actually makes it into the recycling. The rest of the plastic ends up in land fills, the environment and our water ways. Ms. Kipp even picked up plastic bottles off the ocean floor in Bali last year! As a school, we have decided that we are going to make a small act to make our world a better place! We're getting rid of the water machine! We can get water out of the fountains or the taps; we don't need to be pumping our (parent's) hard earned money into the water machine. So, as soon as our current stock is exhausted, the water machine is leaving. In its place, we will place a poster with the EU clearly posted and every student in the school will sign the wall - we will each make a commitment to make the world a better place, one step at a time. And in this case, by saying goodbye to the water bottle dispenser! Stay tuned, pictures will follow!
