Scarsdale’s
Eco S.A.V.E.R.S. Transparency Cleaning System
The environmental club of Scarsdale
High School, Eco S.A.V.E.R.S., has organized a system within the
high school for the cleaning and re-using of transparencies.
The transparencies are normally used by teachers in over-head projectors and
are generally thrown out after use since there are no facilities for recycling
them in the area. This system allows teacher to re-use the same transparencies
several times, cutting down on the number the school must purchase, and thus
saving resources.
As
part of the system, teachers drop off used transparencies in
a box located in the main office of
the school. The teachers
place the dirty transparencies
in folders with their names written on them so they can be returned later. Since
teacher mailboxes are located in the main office, it is an optimal location for
the box’s placement. Students from the environmental club pick up the transparencies
weekly and distribute them during the environmental club meeting. Once a student
has washed the transparencies, he places them back in the folder and into the
teacher’s mailbox in the main office.
