We weighed our junk mail for 1 week...65 lbs.! That's a lot! We wanted to display it but unfortunately, it got recycled quicker than we planned...our cleaning staff is awesome! Here's what we found out: 1 week in our class - 75 lbs. (save 1/2 tree)
1 month in our class - 300 lbs. (save 2 trees)
1 year in our class - 3,900 lbs. (save 26 trees)
you get the idea...
Did you know it takes more than 100 million trees to produce the amount of junk mail that arrives in American mailboxes each year? Here are the links if you are interested in lowering the amount of junk mail you receive or signing a petition to help stop junk mail for everyone .
Next week we will be making solar s'mores, Sarah and Grant have volunteered to bring the chocolate and marshmallows. Let me know if you can provide 2 boxes of graham crackers!
