| Mrs. Severance's and Mrs Kappel's classes collected data on solid waste in the cafeteria . Below you will find data collected for two days of lunch room waste audits for paper, plastic, styrofoam, food, and other waste. We used this data to make recommendations on dealing with lunch waste at our school.
During Earth Week we encouraged students to bring an "Earth Friendly" (low waste) lunch to see if we could reduce the totals for solid waste. Check out our data for the Earth Day Lunch Waste Audit.
