Students in Donna Peare’s survival skills for science majors class chose a variety of projects to work on during the semester. Here, Katie Billings, Samantha Glover, Stephanie Garcia and Rebecca Maifeld show their display that focused on the amount of recyclables, trash and reusables students and teachers discard at Mountain Valley High School. Billings said about $400 in returnables bottles are thrown away ever year, and more than half the items thrown in the garbage can be recycled, returned or reused. The group plans to make students aware of the unnecessary amount of trash that is thrown away by posting signs, and asking teachers to make the recycling bins more available is each classroom. Billings said as many students leave for the school year, they toss away binders, books, paper and other items that could be reused. She said some teachers go “locker shopping” after school is out to retrieve materials that could be used in their classrooms.
