Junk Matters!

A couple of weeks ago the fourth grade had a wonderful guest speaker from the company Junk Matters. Our speaker, Eric, talked to the students about how their company is working to reduce our community's carbon footprint. Junk Matters is a company that allows restaurants, schools, and other businesses to eliminate their waste stream through single stream recycling. To learn more about this wonderful company, visit www.junkmattersllc.com

To show our appreciation to Junk Matters, not only for coming to speak to the fourth graders at OES, but also for helping to reduce our community's environmental footprint, the students thought of a creative and "green" way to say thank you! Below is a blog and videos expressing our appreciation: 


JUNK MATTERS just like the company that came to speak with fourth grade. He was a great guest speaker. He talked about how important our carbon foot print really mattered for now and the future to come. From what he talked about the company really cares about junk that can be recycled. That is why the name does not lie. He must not have a big foot because he does not leave a big carbon footprint. He does not lie, junk really matters. You do not know it, but the water bottle that you drink out of could have been recycled. Do not say that it is dirty. They of course clean it so it is not dirty. We should be happy that someone stills cares about our environment because soon the world will be very dirty. You can make a big change if you just recycle. So when you and your family go out to eat choose places like Ryans or Mr. Gattis because they recycle too. So I hope that you recycle and if you do not recycle I hope that you do in the future to come. That is why recycling is so important. So you heard it from me and our guest speaker JUNK MATTERS.
