Saskatoon Tosses More Trash Than Most, says Star Phoenix

I saw this headline today at the grocery store and I just had to post it here.  I know that we have decided to focus on energy conservation right now but I think that this article will come in handy for our next possible theme, waste reduction!  If you would like to read the article, which says that people Saskatoon throw away more trash than nearly every other city in Canada (yikes!), click here.   We will definitely pick this up at a later date. 

For now, remember to bring your writing and colouring utensils at lunch recess this Tuesday, so that we can decorate our posters and write announcements to promote saving energy at École Victoria.  See you then!

Unplug, switch off, and save!

Today, we decided to focus on saving energy by turning off lights and unplugging appliances when they are not in use or no longer needed.  Next week, we will work on making posters and announcements to encourage the school in joining us in this project.  Do you have any great ideas to promote energy conservation at our school?  What about some knowledge or cool facts on the subject that would get us thinking about the importance of saving energy?  Jot down your thoughts by commenting below or come to our next meeting with your awesome ideas! 

Brainstorming session

Today we had our first brainstorming session.  This is what we decided on for our purpose:

Here is a list of ideas of things we could do this year in Destination: Conservation.  I'm sure that there are even more great ideas that will pop up this year!

We are always accepting new members. So if you would like to join us we will see you next Tuesday!
