A SUSTAINABLE RAP SONG

Eloy and David have written the lyrics and have also done the dancing

Don't throw your garbage out on the street

Keep your planet clean and neat

Put your wrappers in the big round bin

Recycle cans that are made of tin

Take your bottles back to the store

Get a refund to buy some more

Never toss junk from a moving auto

'cause "Clean is keen" should be your motto

We don’t want to see the shit on the street,

Please, you have to throw it on its bin.

The colors of the bins are yellow blue and green,

And if you change this, humans will rip

The water is essential for life,

You don’t have to use so much.

Sit down and listen up,

When you brush your teeth,

Turn off the tap.

BREAKFAST CAMPAIGN

       More Sustainable Wrapper  "BOC'N ROLL"

" EMBOLCALL + SOSTENIBLES"   

Our school takes part in the project Sustainable wrappers "Embolcall + Sostenibles" that pretends to offer alternative use of aluminum foil, in the breakfast wappers at school.

Maybe the biggest problem we have in our daily lives against sustainability is the elevated consumption of products that keep in danger nature.

In Spain, a person generates an average of 2kg of waste per day, so 14 kg per week and approximately 726 kg per year. To be more sustainable we should reduce our consumption.
In our school, IES Ausiàs March, we work on sustainability to do a better and greener world. So thinking about it, we started a project.

DIAGNOSIS

Thinking about how to reduce the waste we produce every day in our school, we realized that in the break time for breakfast, an elevated quantity of waste such as plastic, aluminium paper, bricks, paper... was produced. Since that moment we decided to change it.
The students of 1^st and 2^nd ESO  did a diagnosis and  began a campaign to raise awareness in the school. We hung a mural with images and phrases (comic balloons) as a conversation by inviting reflection on the waste that breakfast generates.

    

ALTERNATIVES

Searching more ecological alternatives but efficient at the same time, we found an innovative product called "Boc’n Roll".

"Boc’n Roll" is a wrapper that helps us to keep the food in place adapting itself to the various shapes and sizes of snacks, such as sandwiches, fruits, etc. It’s composed of cotton and polyester on the outside, and   ecological, recyclable and very resistant plastic on the inside. 

PLAN OF ACTION

 1. Survey and campaign

The students did a diagnosis and started a campaign for “Ausiàs Verd”. A mural has been hung in the school with sandwiches (globes of comic) simulating a conversation of two students, inviting to the reflection on the generated waste in the school.

During three random days, four voluntary students went through four classes to analyze the waste generated with our breakfast. They weighed the total generated waste and obtained information that will serve to value the project later.

2. Delivery and agreement

When we had the ecological wrappers, these were delivered to the students of 2^nd of ESO first and later on to the 1^stof ESO. All, of course, with an agreement of the students to use "bock’n rolls" and to eliminate plastics, aluminium paper, bricks…

3. Evaluation process

These were the results:

PAPER RECYCLING

We had a workshop about paper recycling. One group did a TV program about recycling, another did a survey of the different types of paper, another group recycled paper, another made a video showing how to do it and and it was a great experience because most of us had never seen it before, so we learnt a lot of things.

Agustín, Raúl and Joel

This is how to recycle paper:

  Do you recycle? here is an interview for the TV program:

And this is the survey of the different types of paper:

HOW IS PAPER PRODUCED?

In this activity we explain how to produce paper:

WHERE DOES PAPER COME FROM?

 Paper comes from cellulosic fibers of the trees. Different types of paper present different characteristics.

We can classify paper into three different columns:

• - Information- media (newspapers, magazines, books, office, photocopying,     advertising sheets, etc.).
• - Domestic (tissue paper rolls for kitchen, coffee filters, tissues, etc.).
• - Packing (bags, Paper packing, etc.).

We are going to give you some information guidance:         

	Trees that we need for 1m3 of wood	M3 of wood that all trees have
Small wood (trees of 5 or 20 cm of diameter with an average of 17,5 cm)	41.00	0,0244
Big wood (trees of 20 or 40 diameter with an average of 30 cm)	5,38	0,1860

 To find out how many sheets of paper are in a ton of paper you can use the following table:

DUMP WOOD m3	DRY WOOD Tm	Chemical pulp Tm	PAPER Tm	SHEETS DINA4
4	2	1	1	200000

To produce a ton of paper we need:  

	Premium paper	Ordinary quality paper	Recycled paper
Trees	5,3 Has	3,8 Has	We don't need any trees
Water	440 m3	280 m3	1,8 m3
Energy	7.600 kwh	4750 kwh.	2750 kwh.

So we have to use recycled paper because:

·         It doesn't need any tree.

·         It uses less water in its production.

·         It needs less energy to be produced.
