**Earth Day Plan:**
- Sell recycled paper notebooks for 30rmb - Teaching 3rd Grade about recycling - Bottle toss competition - Prize: spray painted cans (soda), cupcakes, paper booklet - PR: get PR to advertise recycling events.
 * through skits, songs
 * prepare 1 empty trash can bins
 * assign counters
 * find 30-50 empty clean bottles


 * Goals for 2011:**

> - Proper etiquette > - Promotions during pep rally's > - Video > - Competitions: Art work made from recycling stuff (bottles, paper..etc.)
 * Recycle paper, plastic bottles, cans, and cartridges
 * Advertisements


 * What We Have Done:**

1. Recycled papers/cardboard
 * Collection (once per week): Every Thursday after school
 * Mr. Huang's **__payment!!!!!!__** Money goes to Roots and Shoots
 * Security: guards are accompanying Mr.Huang and his workers
 * He contributed 15 blue recycling bins - We need to find where all the bins are located, so far Maggie and I (Hudson) have only been able to find 8, does anybody know where we put them all?
 * Mr.Huang's cell phone: 13501705576

What's **next** on our plan?
1. Recycle __**batteries** and **printer cartridges**__ = talk to Mr. Huang or contact companies such as IKEA (printer cartridges are in the mac labs and teachers' lounge, also there is a large box of batteries and cartridges backstage in the auditorium). Once this is established, there will be a group allocated bi-monthly (subject to change) to retrieve these and place them all into one location for pickup. 2. Recycle **__bottles/cans__** : We have two big bins that we will be using, one for cans and the other for bottles. We will place these outside the cafeteria and will need to inform Mr. Huang about them. Furthermore, we are considering having a bottle recycling bin in each floor of the H and L buildings so that recycling runs will have a more convienent area to deposit bottles (we need to check to see if admin. is okay with that). 3. The **__old directories__** Before the end of the year we should probably take note of how often each of our recycle bins are full and if we should reposition them. There is definitely an imbalance, some of the bins are always full while others are always empty. We'll also have to inform Mr. Huang where we decide to relocate the bins (if we eventually decide to do so). Several bins in the high school have dropped off the face of the earth so we have made a quick order already to fill in these gaps. 4. __**Expading**__ on the elementary school's **__knowledge of recycling__** The elementary school is already aware of the 3 R's of recycling (and you should be too!) but we want to further expand and perhaps demonstrate examples of its applications. Some suggestions were to teach the children how to create a neat little booklet out of a little string, tape, and recycled single-side-blank paper.We could also teach them what actually happens after they recycle a bottle, can, or sheet of paper (the process).

Ideas: 1. elementary school education -- skit or movie—where does our recycled paper go? -- include recycling trivia -- interactive games
 * appropriate for 3rd or 4th graders
 * include scientific information to teach the technical processes behind recycling
 * deadline for completed research: next meeting, Nov. 4
 * deadline for completed skit write out and completion of props: end of next meeting, Nov. 25th

2. booklet project
 * obtain art supplies by Nov. 4
 * start making booklets
 * JiYoung and Tate's completion of booklet covers: Nov.25th
 * Continue making booklets

Nov. 25 Meeting MUST FINISH:
 * Inital batch of completed booklets (remember to use yarn instead of pipe cleaners) complete with design covers that are appealing enough to entice customers to purchase it for 25 rmb.
 * Complete all the preparations for the elementary school education sessions INCLUDING script, props, and a run by with Mr. Toa to see if this is the sort of material she is looking for.

If we get 6 bins we would like them in the same spot on each floor for continuity and these spots would be.Top of elem stairs At the end of the corridor (the right angle) eg, outside the hatchery (the toilets/water dispenser area near the start of the ramp to the hatchery and directly below.At the end of the corridor (the right angle) outside the 5th grade corridor (Jenny Canar's room) and directly below, again, by the water dispenser, toilet area.

 * Other questions:**
 * What is the best way to distribute boxes and advertise to both teachers and students?
 * Do we collect all paper around the building? (shredders, library, computer labs, offices)
 * How can we motivate teachers and students to think about paper use (**reduce, reuse**, **recycle, RETHINK**)
 * Would making them pay for the paper have an effect?
 * How are we going to pick up the paper each week?
 * At lunch time on Tuesdays students will go around to the classrooms and collect the paper from the boxes and transfer the paper to the blue bins distributed throughout the school.
 * On Thursdays the recycling group will go around and double check the class rooms to make sure all the paper is collected for Mr. Huang's pickup that afternoon.
 * Where does our paper go? What kinds of materials are sorted and recycled? Who benefits?
 * How can we reduce waste
 * Instead of printing Parent Talk, send information through email as a PDF file to parents.
 * Stay in contact with Mr. Merrill

You, along with your partner(s), are responsible for recycling ALL the papers in bins from EVERY room in your designated area. Notice: Recently, we have been hearing complaints from a number of teachers regarding uncollected recycled bins. In order to effectively deal with this problem, we have decided to implement the "three-strikes rule" (not to be confused with the three-strikes law for felonies): if we hear more than 2 complaints from a teacher and pinpoint it down to YOU (that is, if it was your job to recycle that area on that day), you are out of the group! Hopefully, these measures will help our recycling program become more efficient :)
