What is EcoCheck?

We are Group 5 of the Cultural Fair. Our mission: analyze the types and quantities of waste produced at our school. We interviewed staff, built a model, made a comic strip and a poster — and this interactive site!

George do Carmo
Sigma G.O.A.T · Script · Comics · Poster

Researched school cleaning routines and waste collection schedules. Discovered classrooms are the #1 waste area.

Garbage collection happens at the end of both the morning and afternoon shifts. The most common waste? Paper and school supplies students leave behind — pencils, pens, notebooks.
🌟
Davi
Script · Comics · Creative Ideas · Poster

Presented the official waste type classification — organic, paper, and plastic — and explained where each category should go.

Organic waste like food scraps and fruit peels? Composting. Paper, plastic, bottles, wrappers, pens? Selective waste collection — the colored bins!
🌸
Natalia
Model · Recording · Interview

Measured and analyzed waste quantities. Highlighted the problem of incorrect mixing by students.

The school produces about 53.05 kg of waste per day. Most is organic from snack time — but in classrooms, paper rules. Many students mix it all together. That's a big problem!
🍀
Danielle
Food · Model · Recording · Interview

Investigated cafeteria waste and glass materials. Revealed shocking numbers about daily package waste.

Food not served? Trash — or the cafeteria lady takes it for her dog. About 100 packages used per day, all wasted. Glass? When it appears, nobody disposes of it correctly.
Research findings

Types of waste at school

🍌

Organic Waste

Food scraps, fruit peels, snack leftovers from the cafeteria. Biggest category by weight.

♻️ Composting
📄

Paper & Cardboard

Exam sheets, scratch paper, packaging boxes, forgotten notebooks. #1 in classrooms.

♻️ Blue bin
🥤

Plastic

Water bottles, disposable cups, snack wrappers, pens. ~100 packages discarded daily.

♻️ Red bin
🖊️

School Supplies

Pencils, pens, rulers left by students in classrooms. George confirmed this is extremely common.

⚠️ Often mixed incorrectly
🍽️

Cafeteria Food

Unserved food goes to trash — or is taken home by cafeteria staff for their pets.

⚠️ Not properly managed
🪟

Glass

Rare but present. Danielle noted it is never disposed of correctly when it appears.

❌ Green bin — almost never used
Key insight

Many students mix different types of waste — plastic with organic, paper with plastic. This makes recycling impossible and creates extra problems for the school and environment.

Visual story

The Comic Strip

Created by George & Davi — bringing our research to life!

Panel 1 — The Discovery
🌟
Davi
Hey, have you ever noticed how much trash our school produces every single day?
Panel 2 — The Numbers
🌸
Natalia
I measured it! Our school generates about 53 kilograms of waste every single day. And most of it? Totally preventable.
Panel 3 — The Classroom Problem
🦁
George
The classrooms are the WORST. Students leave pencils, pens, paper everywhere. Garbage is collected twice a day and it's always full of stuff people forgot!
Panel 4 — The Cafeteria Secret
🍀
Danielle
Did you know? About 100 packages get thrown away DAILY. And the food that isn't served? Trash — or the cafeteria lady takes it for her dog! No donation, no composting...
Panel 5 — The Solution
🦁🌟
All of us
We can change this! Separate your waste. Use the right bin. Say NO to unnecessary packaging. Small actions — huge impact. Let's make our school actually eco-friendly! 🌱
