Your Turn: What changes would you like to see made at North in terms of sustainability?

By Lauren Kaled INTERN

JUNIOR EMMA BABCOCK:

“I think we could try to avoid using plastic in the cafeteria because plastic can end up in the oceans, and it’s really bad for the sea creatures.”

FRESHMAN COLE MCLEAN: “The use of plastic at school stores and paper waste should be less. [We should also have] certain rules about where you should put your plastic."

TEACHER BRIAN STACKPOOLE: “I think you’ve got to research what happens in other high schools and what are some of the best practices across the state and nation.”

SENIOR QUINN ADDY:

“I think that we should use less plastic around our school because plastic is bad for the environment, and [we should use] paper [instead]."

SOPHOMORE DONELL JAMES: “North could be better with sustainability by probably having can recycling bins. I know there’s a lot of [empty] cans, so having those bins would probably help the sustainability by a lot.”
