- 09 february 2023 :

 

We found ideas to work on during our next workshop session :

  

    > Install recycling bins.

    > Install a compost in our high-school.

    > Make a vegetable garden.

    > Try to replace plastic felts with wooden pencils.

    > Send or exchange our old clothes or toys in the high-school.

    > Transfer heat from data centers to classrooms.

    > Install recycling bin for old clothing.

 

 

- 16 february 2023 :

 

We make a check-list with those elements :

 

    > Make a poster about the use of wooden pencils

    > Send a message to the professors about the use of wooden pencils

    > Send a message to the professors about the the futur recycling bins

    > Go in all the classrooms to check the real number of recycling bins

 

We start the "visit" of the classrooms.

 

 

- 09 march 2023 :

 

We discovered the planning of our first student meeting and we did several thing to continued projects that we had :

 

    > We continued the "visit" of the classroom to look for the number of recycling bins that we will have needs.

    > We write the message to send to the professors about the use of wooden pencils.

    > We start (just a little) the poster about the use of wooden pencils.

 

 

- 16 march 2023 :

 

We spoke with the officier in charge of the waste, Mr.Fonteneau and we learnt this :

 

    > We haven't compost in our high-school (and it will be hard to install one).

    > The wastes are sorted by the officiers : paper and the rest.

    > Paper are sent (with the bag) in the recycle bins then to the richbour society.

    > Paper said "flat" (not a paper ball) is sorted differently the the crumpled paper.

    > Our recycle bins cost 70€ for 30 bins.

    > The high-school pay the agglomeration for the waste collection.

    > The officier in charge didn't know that there is no enough recycle bins.

 

For the "green wastes" :

    > The officiers collect more than 1,5 tonnes of leaves.

    > The canteen organic waste are sent to the grey bins.

 

 

- 6 april 2023 :

 

We started the design of posters for the utilisation of wooden pencils.

 

 

- 13 april 2023 :

 

We continued the design of the posters; we did statistics about informatic skills; we did a breffing about our travel to Strasbourg.

 

For this first year, the group

 

- calculated how many plastic pens were used by teachers in the school in 2022 and wrote a message to offer our school teachers to change from plastic pens to ecological wooden pencils to write on white boards

 

- met the technical staff manager of the school to ask him questions about waste management in the school

 

- made a survey in every classroom to check if there was a paper bin and ask the school staff to provide new paper bins for the classrooms that didn't have one.

 

Our ideas for next year:

- install a composting system at the lycée
- install a henhouse and chickens (fed by our food waste from the canteen)
- set up a vegetable garden
- organise a second-hand stall at the school

- 20 april 2023 :

 

We start working on a poll about the use of wooden pencil in the high school.

 

 

- 28 september 2023 :

 

We worked about the science party and asked ourselves what question can we ask to young people about waste.

 

- 5 october 2023 :

 

Questions finales pour la fête de la science :

 

 

Pour faire mes devoirs, j'utilise :

 

- a) Stylo jetable et blanco

- b) Stylo-plume, porte-mine et gomme

- c) Crayon et gomme

 

 

Je veut boire un jus de fruit je prend :

 

- a) Des petites briques en carton

- b) Une bouteille en plastique

- c) Une bouteille en verre

 

La bouteille en verre produit le plus de CO2 à sa création, mais peut ensuite être réutilisée durant une très longue période, tandis que les bouteilles en plastiques et les briques en carton consommes moins à la création mais sont plus difficilement réutilisable.

 

Pour lire un livre je vais :

 

- a) En acheter un sur internet, ou sur une liseuse

- b) Acheter un livre dans une librairie indépendante

- c) A la médiathèque

 

Un livre "palpable", un livre papier peut se conserver plusieurs millions d'années, n'a pas besoin d'apport en électricité.

 

Je vais faire mes courses, pour les porter je prends :

 

- a) Des sacs en plastique à usage unique

- b) Des sacs en plastique réutilisable

- c) Des sacs en tissus, tote-bag, tupperware et bocaux

 

Tout ce qu'il faut pour n'avoir besoin de rien et ne pas créer de nouveaux déchets.

 

Demain j'ai un pique-nique avec l'école :

 

- Je vais acheter des chips et des sandwichs triangle au supermarché

- Je vais pouvoir manger mon sandwich préféré de chez le boulanger

- Avec mes parents, on va préparer ma salade composée préférée
