MSU Recycling Club came to my school last week and taught us about garbology and how to save the planet's environment.
Every day they weighed our garbage that we threw away at lunchtime, and the first day it was 82 pounds. The second day it was 73 pounds. The third day it was 83 pounds, and the last day it decreased so much it was only in the 50's! We got all excited about that and that day, we had a big assembly to see who was the Recycling King and Queen. A whole bunch of people saw that and we thought that the 6 (they added the milk that we poured out, too) was a 0, and so it looked like 03.4 pounds that we threw away and we were totally freaking out! But then we realized that it was 63.
The Recycling King was Kyle Steen, and the Recycling Queen was my best friend, Mari Aoki, and I got mentioned because I helped my friend Ally Bauerle collect biodegradable things to put in her grandparents' compost pile.
I like the MSU Recycling Club because they are really nice and they seem to know what they're doing.
Thank you, Kevin, Zach, Maddie, Kari, and Kina.
Here's an article about Kevin!
Suzi, you are brilliant and truly a fantastic mom. Molly is so lucky to have you in her life and an incredibly beautiful child inside and out, too. I'll be following your blog every week and starting one with my kids, too. 52Gifts should be cloned and spread around the world. What a difference it could make.... I love you, girl! jd
ReplyDeleteSorry to double comment...just wanted to point you to the MSU's Network of Environmentally Conscious Organizations website. NECO is the focal point for all things sustainability related on campus. Their public school outreach committee is the one that partnered with the Bozeman High School Recycling Club to visit schools. Both NECO and BHSRC are full of awesome people who made my year one of the best ever.

Molly you and your friends blew me away with your enthusiasm and brilliant attitudes! I honestly was starting to tear up when you all brought in bags to collect compost and you will always stand out in my mind! Acts like that are what are going to inspire others and keep these programs rolling. We'll see you all soon and for sure will be returning next school year:) Suzi im always so unbelievably excited when amazing parents and community members step in because it really completes the feeling of accomplishment when we've reached people of all ages :) Im soooooo looking forward to next semester! Thank you ladies!!!!
