Our CMMA Audit

Our other CMMA class was in charge of doing the Audit, they say it was a nasty cool activity. The activity was to get the school garbage bags and separate everything, they found a lot of items that could be recycled and our school doesn't do it maybe because some people get lazy.


The first thing they did was to weigh the bag , The weight of the bag was 5 to 8 pounds. This the bag they weighed,

After the class dumped the trash in the tarp.

All the class separated the trash in groups of bottles, paper, food and everything else.

After, the class weighed the piles, the bag was about 5 to 8 lbs. bottles were about 2 lbs. the paper was 1 pound, the food was 3 lbs. The food was like about the 60% the paper and the bottles were each 20%.


Classrooms can start recycling more if we had more recycling bins all over the schools and if the school had like meetings about how we can make our school cleaner. The 4R's can be applied a lot by the stuff that was found, for example food we can rot the food or actually even eat it all, and we can reduce by not buying food we are not going to finish. We can also reuse paper like for notes some people throw paper away just because it looks dirty of because it fell in the floor.
Our classes should focus mostly on paper and how we use a lot of paper and we can save it for notes. Our teachers have the power to get stricter and make students recycle and, it can even help the people that work at the Waste Management, they wont have to separate stuff into different piles. We need to think about the trouble we can save them.
