Using recycled materials, we machined racks to fit securely onto the conveyor system that afforded the vertical placement of plates. This change in orientation prompts users to remove refuse before placing on the conveyor belt. result In one 11 hour period, in one dining hall, 166 gallons of water were saved. Imagine the impact if two dining halls, or all schools, or hospitals, or every facility with the same set-up! <img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/185819/2564944/Picture 26.png" width="670" height="448" width_o="803" height_o="537" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/185819/2564944/Picture 26_o.png" data-mid="12955542" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/185819/2564944/Picture 28.png" width="670" height="495" width_o="765" height_o="566" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/185819/2564944/Picture 28_o.png" data-mid="12955543" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/185819/2564944/Picture 29.png" width="670" height="443" width_o="812" height_o="537" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/185819/2564944/Picture 29_o.png" data-mid="12955544" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/185819/2564944/Picture 30.png" width="670" height="442" width_o="816" height_o="539" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/185819/2564944/Picture 30_o.png" data-mid="12955545" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/185819/2564944/Picture 31.png" width="383" height="582" width_o="383" height_o="582" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/185819/2564944/Picture 31_o.png" data-mid="12955546" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/185819/2564944/Picture 12.png" width="514" height="512" width_o="514" height_o="512" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/185819/2564944/Picture 12_o.png" data-mid="14566652" border="0" align="left"/> challenge How can we reduce water waste on campus? insight If students place cleaner plates on the conveyor, rather that plates piled with refuse, less water would... http://cargocollective.com/theakm/classroom-garden-project http://cargocollective.com/theakm/following/theakm/classroom-garden-project Wed, 22 Feb 2012 23:26:25 +0000 theakm 2865469 challenge How can we enhance environmental learning opportunities for school children in Chicago? solution The Classroom Garden Project includes everything a teacher needs to start their own teaching garden.
