During the week of 17 November 2008, my school, Saltus Upper Primary, took part in a competition to promote recycling.

The winning school's prize is $1,000. Each school that participated will receive a cedar tree.

Altogether, Saltus collected 8,377 cans. That's a lot of soda drinking!

The class that got the most cans was Year 6 Lusher and they collected 2,789 cans.

They win a Grub Day (a day where you get to wear anything you want), a pizza party and a tour around the new recycling plant. The Department of Works and Engineering (W&E) organised this event to encourage children to recycle and keep our Earth GREEN!

Many people found their cans in the bushes, which proves that Bermuda needs to do a lot of cleaning up.
