To our surprise most classrooms DID have a basket, but both Miss Laura (library) and Miss Liliana wanted one for their classrooms. We also spoke with Areli to make sure she's going to help us separate the different PET containers so we can recycle as much as possible. Eli & Arnold loved the idea of having a separate container to put batteries and cables, and also to dispose of of ink cartridges.]]> 2017-09-14 16:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/187635781 lorenzo_camara https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/187636844  We went classroom to classroom to empty the paper and cardboard bins. We noticed that Mr. Clump's room was missing a box, so we'll provide one for sure before next week. We started decorating the boxes. All the trash we picked up will be left under the stairs that are next to the bathroom.

Miss Nancy´s box was emptied as it had a ton of paper, she also got a new one. The entire team worked on posters to put throughout the school. The staff from the office (Miss. Nancy, Franciela, Miss.

Ellie and Arnold received a new box for recycling as well as the library. ]]> 2017-09-21 16:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/189827931 lorenzo_camara https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/189828157 2017-09-21 16:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/189828157 https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/192952505 This week the group pasted the poster outside the office. We also collected all of the classrooms paper, including the office. We also added a Reciclaton box in room 8. On Friday Lorenzo, Carlos and Rodrigo came early to school to pick up all of the paper and cardboard. This Friday we didn't have school so it was an extra effort. On Saturday morning, it was raining very heavy but that didn't stop us from doing our job. Nicolle and Andres went to Cumbres to the Reciclston site.

We also emptied the cardboard box that's next to the office and stored it again.

Miss Morrow's room had the most paper. We didn't collect anything from the office because there was nothing to collect. We made sure that the pizza boxes from the Senior Sale were deposited in thrown in our trash can so we can take them to the Reciclatón facility this coming Saturday. We need to start making sure people understand the difference between cardboard and paper, as our trash cans are made for both but we end up separating them in the end.]]> 2017-10-25 17:36:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/200533966 lorenzo_camara https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/200537641 2017-10-25 17:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/200537641 lorenzo_camara https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/200538117 2017-10-25 17:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/200538117 lorenzo_camara https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/201448952 We went to IAS early yesterday to pick up the more than 10 paper and cardboard bags from under the stairs. Kudos to Rodrigo's car for getting them all to Albahari's house. Today we went to Starbucks and waited with the trash bags in Albahari's and Carlos' cars.

The only inconvenience we faced is that someone stole our box from Miss Ale's room. Also, we have found the dates of the Reciclatón event to be wayyyy too long for the amount of trash we collect; we end up with too much trash and it becomes difficult to transport it.]]> 2017-11-01 17:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/202638990 lorenzo_camara https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/207752796 CancunMUN:
 During the conference we made sure all the committees had boxes to throw away paper, cardboard and water bottles. We also talked to the pages and parents so they would know where each type of waste went. During the taquiza most leftovers were thrown away in the organic bin. 
Nov. 16th: 
 Today we went to every classroom and we noticed that many teachers don't want us interrupting their classes so they took their bins outside. Since CancunMUN produced so much trash we managed to fill up three bags of cardboard, as well as three bags of paper. Yesterday during the Senior Sale we made sure that the pizza boxes were thrown in the Reciclatón bin.]]> 2017-11-16 16:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/207752796 lorenzo_camara https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/212294822 So last week we didn't go to the Reciclatón because we were all ]]> 2017-12-01 15:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/212294822 lorenzo_camara https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/212341457 Last week, the week we had off, we were all out of town and we couldn't go to the Reciclatón. Sorry. But, Miss Ana made us find a solution for all the trash we collected during November since the next Reciclatón is in January. We looked for options, and many of them were either too inconvenient or didn't accept paper and/or cardboard. We ended up finding a guy who has a recycling plant in López Portillo, near the exit to Mérida. He told us he would come today to pick the trash bags (today as in December 1st). 
We as usual went to every classroom and picked up the very filled recycling bins from each classroom. There was almost no paper except for Miss Dea's room. We had a lot of cardboard, especially because of the Senior Sales and pizza parties, which tend to leave a lot of cardboard waste. 
Side note: we also observed that teachers have started to leave their recycling bins outside their classrooms on Thursdays so that when we come to pick them up we don't interrupt their classes.]]> 2017-12-01 16:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/212341457 andres_albahari https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/214127312 This week was very calmed. Since many classes were in semestral exams, several teachers had already left their boxes outside their classrooms. As usual our carton box was a success. We didn´t excpect it to help so much. The quantity of paper was very little, we don´t understand why. This month there is no recilaton, we will start to them again in January 2018. We will have to be aware of the new dates of the recilaton. We will also have to change all posters as well with the new dates.

Miss. Ana spoke with us about some important things that we should notice of. All classrooms were cleaned. Although two rooms ( 8 and 10) were missing boxes. Our cardboard box that was located in the first floor was removed. We were forced to find which was already taken care of. One bag of paper was completelly filled and one of half of cardboard. We also had to look up the new Recilcaton calender. We are ready to start a new year on the best way possible.

After several bags of paper were collected we headed to Pabellon Cumbres to the first event of the year. Since Winter Break had just passed, there was several bags of paper especially to be taken to recilaton. Carton on the other hand was not so popular, since the biggest source are the Senior Pizza Sales. The annual poster with all of the dates of the recilcaton was created and pasted in Miss. Ana´s classroom. ]]> 2018-01-19 04:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/222680964 andres_albahari https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/222681483 2018-01-19 04:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/222681483 https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/222950056 Even though mostly all of the Reciclatón members were missing, the work was done. Nicolle and Carlos picked up all the materials and one bag of paper was completely filled and one of half of cardboard. The only problem we faced during this week, was that room 8 was missing a box. Mostly all teachers keep their boxes inside their rooms, they are not following the instruction. All Thursdays the boxes should be placed outside for a less interruption.

There was a lot of cardboard next to the office because of the Senior Sale and of recent projects done with cartulinas and magazines. There were a lot of left over notebooks from people who thrown them away each time a new semester comes around.

There was much more trash than usual in the trash cans outside because of Valentine's Day, especially flower wrappers that came with the roses we sold. We also had to pick up what accumulated from the pizzas from the Senior Sale. There was almost no paper this time, and this is a trend we've noticed since we started doing this project, we think that maybe the implementation of new ways of teaching, such as Google Classroom, have made a change in the amount of paper that is thrown away.]]> 2018-02-08 16:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/229653326 andres_albahari https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/229653361 This week was diffrent from the rest. First of all, the seniors came back from Veracruz so there was alot of work to do. The amount of carton boxes was huge, especially from all the pizza boxes. When we went to pick them up however, they were all gone. Somebody had already put them away. Miss. Liliana did not let us in into her room so we didn´t clean it. Mr.B in room 8 got a new box. Mr. Klump for the first time had a huge amount of paper. Now that all the doors have a crystal window, it makes our jobs easier to see what the class is doing and like this thy are not interreumpted so easily.

Because of the dates from the subasta, everyone decided to bring pizza. We ended up with 18 pizza boxes and 4 bags of cardboard. As for paper, we ended with 2 bags of paper. We had little trouble with teachers letting us into their classrooms: Miss Mary Elise, Miss Ale, Miss Dea, and Miss Melanie had their rooms locked and we couldn't pick the trash.

But, we had a little inconvenience: we only had Nicolle's car available, so we had to figure out how to fit all the trash bags inside it. Once in the place, we left all the trash there.

There were 17 empty pizza boxes in the bin next to the office. We used 4 trash bags to fit them all. Miss Ale had spent one month without a Reciclatón box (we thought she was going to put one herself), but we ended up grabbing one from the box downstairs so she could have one.

The school was empty so there were some problems getting into the building to pick up the trash.

We found an extra box in the library to use for a different room, which means that we’re recycling it. Miss Mallory didn’t have any cardboard, well done! Miss Ale didn’t have any waste, but we suspect it is because the lower grades don’t use the Reciclatón boxes to throw trash. Madame Brigitte’s room had the most waste. ]]> 2018-04-26 16:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/255726206 andres_albahari https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/257723534 2018-05-03 15:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/257723534 andres_albahari https://padlet.com/lorenzo_camara/d46lzqw8qcts/wish/257736700 This week was an easy one as well. With two bags we cleaned the entire school. We are very happy that this time all teachers allowed us to enter their classrooms and even some set up their boxes outside. May 26 is our last Recilaton, what a ride it has been. From the start of the year to now, IAS has changed in a big way, we are proud of ourselves, the student, the teachers and the IAS community.

Usually Miss Chelsea has a LOT of trash, and Miss Mallory has some. When we came about to pick the trash they kicked us out of their class because they were having a debate. Apparently, having a debate is more important than recycling, so now they have to keep all that trash until next Thursday. Miss Ale also didn't let pick up the trash, but it was because she had an exam going on (a bimestral).

Next week is our last Recilaton of the year. Miss. Ale who is usually someone with a lot of paper had little to give. Miss Chelsea this week was a lot different than last week.

It was a great experience to work on this project. This week was a mess however. It rained a lot this week so we had several problems picking up the materials. This week was the one with most material picked up in the entire year. The amount of cardboard was unbelievable.
