Homework the week of October 13th

Students are to record either their own personal waste or family's waste.  

This can be done for 1 day, 2 days, 3 days or 4 day!  Whatever is most  convenient!

Students do not need to empty trash... just check off items as they are thrown away or recycled...  You may record: trash/ recycle/  compost if you do not just have  trash.

The purpose is for students to see how much they are using and ?throwing away or recycling"  and to think of ways they might reduce their waste!
