In the Green Team we have been discussing our bins. They are quite insignificant when it comes to our everyday life but they play a major role in the environment. Each bin has certain things that need to go in it which make recycling and sorting easier. But unfortunately not everyone knows what goes in which bin. This can cause a major problem because if too much landfill ends up in the recycling bin, the trash that should actually be in the recycling bin can not be used. And if recycling ends up in the waste bin we end up putting things in landfill that could have easily ended up being recycled. 

Our project is to inform everyone in our School of where our rubbish goes. We did this by designing posters to put on classroom bins. Green Team members went to each class to explain what goes in each bin. By doing this we know that all the rubbish is going in the right place.

In the future we hope to address the FOGO  (Food Organics Garden Organics) by providing bins for food waste.
