Hey there! We’re Eco~Elegant, a small group of people dedicated to helping the environment through the reduction of plastic waste. One step at a time, we plan to get different schools and districts to stop the overuse of plastic and switch to reusable alternatives. We hope that they’ll instead offer better water fountains with water bottle fillers so the use of plastic water bottles is eliminated. Also, we are hoping to decrease the plastic packaging that is sold in school lunches. Everyone needs to speak up and reach out for the earth because we can’t do it alone.
How were we founded? It all started with ratemyrefreshment.weebly.com. We were looking to reduce plastic water bottles in school. There was a flaw with our plan. It’s not just the plastic water bottles that are killing the wildlife. All plastic is! That is why we felt the need to expand a little more.
What’s our mission? It’s simple enough: we wish to reduce plastic waste in schools. We hope that through thorough research and a hard work ethic, we can make a difference in the world. Why are we doing this? After watching a science video, we were alerted to the dangers of plastic waste (and other environmental issues). Nobody wants to live in a polluted world; nobody wants to regret not being able to help. If we don’t act now, we could end up in a world where once common animals are going extinct. And nobody wants that.
What are our plans for the future? We have a variety of ideas to put to work! For one, we want to get all the schools in our district to stop selling plastic water bottles. We want to make a large-scale difference, and the best way to start is through our own community.
