Enviro

The bus came to a stop. The doors opened with a swish.Everyone got out.We walked to the big gates.We met the people who run the environment centre.They told us to walk into the building. When we were walking into the building we passed lots of big healthy fresh fruit and vegetables. Soon we were inside the building.The person who runs  the environment centre told us to grab a badge. There were 4 different  colours of badges green,pink,blue,white.I had a green badge We put down are bags and sat down on these funny bean bags. What are these made of someone asked.There made of old milk bottles. She replied. That's why there so uncomfortable i thought. There's going to be three rotations before morning tea she said.


She told the blue and green badges to get into one group and white badges to get into another.Then she told blue badges to get into one to. I walked into  a room. the room was very close to the main road. In this room we were learning about the six rs. The teacher gave us the six rs. You have to place them in order she said from the most important to the least important. The 6rs were reuse,recycle,refuse,repair,replace,rot,.Sorry but i cant remember what the order was.It was soon time to leave that rotation.


The next rotation was about not using much plastic. This rotation was in the main room. We sat down on the uncomfortable bean bags.  In this rotation she told us were all the trucks of plastic went.Just in case you want to know they all went to this big quarry in  the place that L&P comes from. 


The next rotation was out in the garden. We walked all around the gardens.We got to try anything we liked the look of. She also taught us about what time of the year to plant and harvest fruit and vegetables.That was are last rotation.I wish i could take you through are next rotation but honestly im so tired.
