Food waste at Cranford Community College

What we collected

• Plastics• Rubbish• Empty cans• Paper plates • Plastic knives and

forks • Food

How we collected it

• We went to the dining hall and the concert hall at lunch

• We gathered the bags of wastes and counted them up

Lunch time

• We collected 2 bags of food waste and 2 bags of rubbish

• This = 4 bags of waste

What this means

• 5 days in a week = 20 bags of waste

• 6 weeks in a half term = 120 bags of waste

• 2 half terms in a term =240 bags of waste

• 3 terms in a year = 720 bags of waste

This is only at lunchtime!!!

BUT

• There are 13 weeks holiday in a year so this is only over ¾ of a year!!!!

Add in Breakfast and Break

• 5 days in a week = 10 bags of waste

• 6 weeks in a half term = 60 bags of waste

• 2 half terms in a term =120 bags of waste

• 3 terms in a year = 360 bags of waste

Overall

• This makes 1080 bags of food and general waste in a year!!!!!!

• We need to change the way we use the environment.

What are the things we could do to save the environment

• Marie: students should eat what they buy

• Amar: Separate the rubbish and the plastic.

• Irbaaz: Have recycle boxes in the actual dining hall and concert hall.

• Ryan: Make a survey and get the kids to chose what they want to eat.

We are going to create sculptures to get people

to think about the environment more.
