    It’s a picnic! Polar bears on shore during summer months sometimes come across carcasses of beached whales and walruses. What a treat, hmmmm?

Close the Loop
Project Outline:

We are going to create recycling projects in two schools in our district. In this we are going to see how many recyclable items each class in the schools can raise. The class who collects the most items will receive a prize. We are also going to work with "power-down awareness" for businesses and individuals. To do this, we are going to create our own website and distribute brochures to raise awareness of CO2 emissions.
