Plastic Bag Challenge
Since the fall of 2008, elementary schools in Manitoba have collected over EIGHT MILLION plastic bags for recycling into free frisbees, planters, and bird houses for their schools. This year’s campaign will occur October 2nd through October 31st, 2017. The goal of this challenge is to inspire students to do more to reduce their waste and consider reusing, recycling and remanufacturing options. Ruth Hooker families are encouraged to collect as many plastic bags as possible between Oct. 2 - 31, 2017 and bring them to school for recycling. For participating our school will receive a birdhouse made from recycled plastic, and we will be entered in a random draw to win a bench.
