Regina Huda School
The Regina Huda School Grade 5 class blew us away with the recycling system that they set up and their dedication to it. Starting off the school year with a waste audit to find out how much recycling was going into the trash at their school, they came up with a plan to change that around. They set goals for how much recycling they hoped to get and then came up with the idea of R.E.D. Bins to help them achieve those goals. R.E.D. stands for 'Recycle Every Day' and the bins that they use are small red bins in each classroom to make it stand out to everyone and to make it easier for the students to go around and collect. Changing the minds and behaviours of their fellow classmates, the program soared and they passed their initial goal within the first couple of months!! They plan on using their earnings from the containers as well as their prize money to find more environmentally focused field trips, enhance their current system, as well as develop an outdoor classroom and vegetable garden for the school. This group of dedicated earth-savers showed us what can be achieved when you work together and don't give up! Way to go, Regina Huda School Grade 5's!
