The Green to Extreme is at it again. We are continuing our progress on the project. We completed all of our birdhouses and hope to deliver them the week of December 3rd to Glenside Elementary. The Green to Extreme team has also been working on our research and creating a poster for our community event on the 28th of November. This event will help our team present ideas to the campus both during our normal class time and common hour. Common Hour is between 12:15- 1:15pm if you don’t know. Looking forward to seeing people there to show you our hard work/ determination. Some of the features our research entails include
- Food Waste World Wide
- Food Waste in Berks County and Other Surrounding Locations
- Zero Waster Project- A young lady who fits all her trash in a 12 oz mason jar over a period of 2 years.
- Our Plans on Helping the Environment
- Food Waste Film Presented on November the 16th. This film included a couple who survived on only food waste for 6 months (half a year).
Here are some picture of our progress: There is more to come in later posts!

I really like the video that you guys showed about the woman and the waste she produced over two years. It shows that only by changing our lifestyle a little bit we can make a big difference.
I think the fact that someone can fit 2 years worth of trash into a little jar is incredible! The birdhouses were also a really great idea since the bottles take so long to decompose.
It is fantastic that you were able to create birdhouses out of recycled materials not only to save the environment, but to provide homes for birds at Glenside.
