St. Joseph’s grade 4/5’s did an incredible job presenting their findings as to just how much raw materials, energy, transportation and waste goes into the making of a simple pencil. From the extraction of wood, metals, and latex to the realization that there’s not much we can do once the pencil is too short, the … Continued
After spending the first few weeks of Beyond Recycling learning about where our stuff goes when we throw it away, today we focused on where our stuff comes from in the first place! The students at Kinnaird had no problem pinpointing the raw materials of their paper, kleenex and pencils (trees!) but when asked about … Continued
This was a pleasant surprise – from a student at St. Joe’s.
JV Humphries Beyond Recycling students explored the History of Waste in this class. Students got to dress the part of different eras of waste from Prehistory to Modern times. We discovered that our waste has significantly increased over time, and that now we produce more waster per person in Canada than ever before.

Mrs. Mackay’s 4/5 class made lovely thank you cards to our tour guides at the Nelson Leafs Recycling Centre, the Grohman Narrows Transfer Station, and the Ootischenia Landfill. It was really neat getting a chance to follow the waste stream, seeing what can be returned for money, what is diverted from the landfill, and how … Continued
The sun was out, but it was cold for the students at St. Joe’s, who braved the shade to watch a truck at the transfer station get filled with mixed waste. When we got to the Ootischenia landfill, there came that truck to dump its load – which then gets flattened by Stan’s compactor. While … Continued
