SFIS Green Team asks: What can you do to reduce your plastic consumption? Use a water bottle, bring your own recycled bags to the grocery store or when you go shopping, shop less, support businesses that reduce their waste and grow your own food!

SFIS green team tells you why composting matters:
"Composting combats climate change on three critical fronts. First, by removing food waste from landfills, we reduce our trash volume by about 40% which extends landfill life and reduces heavy machinery required to handle material. Secondly, food waste in landfills is also a high producer of noxious, planet-warming methane gas. In fact, if “Foodwasteinlandfills” was a country of its own, it would be the THIRD LARGEST carbon producer, behind only the US and China! Finally, when the finished compost is spread and seeds are planted, the ability for that area to sequester carbon from the atmosphere (where there’s too much) down into the soil (where we need it) is activated, thus offering the potential to reverse climate change."

Happy Earth Week 2024! (April 22-26th) This years theme is: “Planet vs. Plastic”. We are demanding a 60% reduction in the production of all plastics by 2040. According to Forbes:

"Just how big of a challenge is this? What type of numbers are we talking about? Here’s some perspective:

In 1950, the world produced just two million tons of plastic. We now produce over 450 million tons.
Half of all plastics ever manufactured have been made in the last 15 years.
Production is expected to double by 2050.
More than one million plastic water bottles are sold every minute.
Every year, about 11 million tons of plastic waste escapes into the ocean.
Only 9% of plastics ever produced has been recycled.
Plastics often contain additives that can extend the life of products, with some estimates ranging to at least 400 years to break down."

What can you do to reduce your plastic consumption? Use a water bottle, bring your own recycled bags to the grocery store or when you go shopping, shop less, support businesses that reduce their waste and grow your own food!

SFIS green team will be in the cafeteria on Monday promoting our school composting program and will have an information table, so stop by!

Happy Earth Week and lets be eco-conscious and sustainable everyday! Thanks, Sallah & Green Team leaders
