Keep it Green Beaumont!

I have been doing some research about what kind of green initiatives and waste management our town has and I am VERY impressed.  

I had the kids do a garbage sorting activity including where to sort:

• compost
• recycle
• bottle depot recycle
• garbage
• garbage dump (large items, hazardous waste and e-cycling technology)

The town also offers a great deal of information and support.

• Environmental Services (energy conservation, idle-free, water conservation, etc
• Environmental Master Plan (pdf)
• Kids version of the EMP (pdf)
• Curbside collection program (details about sorting garbage)
• Curbside collection program brochure (pdf)

Also have a look at these videos

• Edmonton Waste management Playlist
• Edmonton IPTF and Compost Facitlity

This video is more appropriate for grade 7 kids, not grade 4

Inside Ed at ECES

We were fortunate enough to have Pamela from Inside Education come and talk to the class about Energy, Ecosystems, and You!  It was a great way to end our latest unit on heat and temperature while adding concepts from our ecosystems unit.  The students participated in a variety of activities and a Pamela gave them a lot to think about.  We talked about stewardship and looked at THIS POSTER to brainstorm some ideas.  Make sure to ask them about it and how you, as a family, can reduce your carbon footprint and your impact on climate change.
