Wow...things are happening!

Making the choice to change one small part of my lifestyle has already had positive benefits. Not only am I doing my part do decrease the amount of waste that is produced, but am also motivating other people to make small changes to their lifestyle as well. So exciting!

Several people have started to hear about this action, as well as the actions of other grade 5 teachers and students at ISM. It is so exciting to know that this blog is getting passed around for people to view. I just hope the readers, will consider making a small change to their lifestyle that will positively impact the environment.

This week I found out that some high school students are campaigning to have all drinks served in the canteen to be in reusable cups. Be on the look out for these ad campaigns.


I am so glad that Allegro is on board with my plan and is helping to make positive change. Delifrance....watch out, I will be coming to speak to you next!

Teachers of ISM, if we want to have our student "be green" the adults in their life should model this as well.

Great News!

Today, I found out that Allegro will begin to offer a 3 peso discount on coffee if the customer provides his/her own mug! Since this will create a problem with easily making change, customers who bring their own mug will be offered a coupon. Coupons can be collected and used towards a larger purchase. I will need to let the ISM community know about this promotion and the importance of reducing waste. I hope I convince others to do this to help the environment.

Gathering Data...

This week I am asking for the staff at Allegro to keep track of the number of customers that actually bring their own mug. I don't think it will be very many. When I am at Allegro I notice that most people use the paper cups provided. Hopefully, I will be able to convince others to change their habits!
