Conservation Initiative: GOOS Paper Bins
EcoClub created a presentation for all students about the importance of trees. They also explained to students that trees are required in the paper-making process. Students in all classes noted that they saw a lot of paper waste when drawing or showing their work. They noticed that paper wasn’t being used to its full potential. EcoClub took this on and created Good On One Side (GOOS) paper bins for each classroom. If a paper still had a blank side, it could be recycled and used again. All teachers reported that students were very good at using the bin and reminding their friends to use it if they forgot.

This Conservation Project was made possible by
Union 52 Benevolent Society.
