GOAL FORBOTTLE RECYCLING
To significantly reduce the numbers of water bottles used at HHE!
Why? Plastic bottles take 450+ years to decompose.The U.S. throws away 60 million water bottles per day!
How? Encourage students to bring in BPA free reusable plastic bottles or stainless steel bottles.
The Green Patrol can remind students to take bottles home at the end of the day.

What can I do to help Think before you throw away! Can it be recycled? Encourage others to recycle. Get in the habit, recycle at home. Teach your students about recycling. Have your students do a project about
recycling.
Remember, it only takes a second to reach for the recycle bin instead of the trash can!
