Greenfield Elementary School gets even greener
Greenfield Elementary School in Troutville is continuing to add to its "green" ways by introducing a new milk jug recycling program for the 2009-2010 school year. Last year the school was able to obtain a recycling container and used it in conjunction with the school's environmental H.O.P.E. (Helping Our Planet Earth) club to recycle paper. This year, the cardboard milk containers, which could not be recycled due to the wax lining, have been replaced with plactic jugs. These new containers can be recycled along with the other plastic bottles the school already collects on site. "I think the new 'drink it and sink it' milk jugs are fantastic! They are really helping to cut down on the waste that our school produces and have been a great additon to the recycling here at our school. I love that we now recycle paper, plastic, and cans at Greenfield" said Nicole Salsgiver, the teacher representative of the H.O.P.E. club.
