Garbage+Free+Lunches+Week

In Social Studies 9 we have been learning about the theme of revolution. The idea that change can happen in the world if people are willing to stand up for what they believe in.

To take part in the "Environmental Revolution" and in honour of Earth Day; Thursday April 22, our class has chosen to participate in a class challenge that addresses the issue of climate change as a result of conspicuous consumption.


 * To take place during 12:01 am Monday April 19 - Midnight Sunday April 25
 * Students will bring their own lunches and drinks to school in reusable/ washable containers. The lunch will also be packed in a reusable bag.
 * Students cannot use any plastic bags, paper bags, cling film or tinfoil to pack their lunches.
 * Students cannot bring any individually packaged drinks or snacks. They should pack snacks from larger bulk supply at home into smaller reusable containers.
 * Students cannot purchase their lunches or after school snacks from any take away restaurants, convenience stores, or vending machines that would produce any packaging garbage.
 * Students may eat lunch at the school cafeteria if their food is served on ceramic plates and use washable silverware.
 * Students will write a journal entry each day to track their experience.
