Global Scholars - Everyday Consumption

We collected all of the single use plastic bottles used in one day in our school.

We were appalled by the amount of single-use plastic bottles that were being used EACH DAY in our school.

From our school research, we discovered that as the water machines in our school were no longer available - as a result of COVID-19 - people were purchasing an excessive amount of single-use water bottles.

We are delighted to have witnessed a large increase in the use of reusable water bottles across our school! - Anthony

The solution is we will share the 5R's with the rest of the school and ensure they are aware of their everyday consumption. - Maria

We will test out the solution for 14 days.&#160; &#160;&#160; &#160;-Bobby - Mai

To document our results, we will continue to monitor the usage of water bottles in our school. -Ethan

Our idea is to put up messages around the school encouraging children to be aware of the sustainability of water bottles. Below are some examples of the signs. -Urwah

We will continue to monitor our consumption usage! - Isabelle

We will continue to encourage our peers to use reusable bottles. -Maggie

We will ensure the 5R's are a core part of our attitude and actions. -Amelia

We will post regular reminders on our school newsletter to highlight sustainability. -Isabella
