Purchasing,+Reduction+and+Reuse

At Thomas Edison Middle School, our students and facility are provided with laptops. Trees to make paper, books, and pencil will not need to be cut down. Thomas Edison Middle School uses electrical storing systems, corresponding e-mailing to staff, students, and parents. Our school gives the students online testing. To save paper, we use both sides of the paper, and reuse scrap paper or paper that has been written on one side. Other ways that our school is "GOING GREEN," is that, we provide people with clothing, and prevent people from going hungry by donating food, and clothing to less fortunate people. All 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students are all coming together to make Thomas Edison a greener school. W hope that includes buying solar panels, so instead of using our current school's power, the sun will give us our energy. We also want to replace our styrofoam lunch trays with regular glass plates, a dishwasher, metal silverware instead of disposable plastic utensils and etc. Our teachers are teaching us students to be a Green School, and we're putting all of our different ideas together to make difference in our school and the Earth.
