Recycling in Cranbrook - Fieldtrip

Leaning the basics of recycling
Recently, students from Gordon Terrace Elementary School, in Mr. Wilson's and Mrs. Bedell's Grade 3 classes took part in a tour of the Transfer Station, the Recycling Centre and visited the Regional Landfill near Fort Steele. What a great way for students to learn about the 3 R's (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) and to think about what they throw away and where it ends up. Lets all start to recycle more and make decisions which produce less waste. Here are some pictures of their day.
Thanks to Stewart Wilson for the pictures.
