Say hello to the 4th "R", RETHINK.

Ever heard of the fourth "R"? No? How about "Garbage Island"? No? Let me show you. We, the grade fives, have learnt about this innocent little island. Some of us formed a group and created this photo story presentation. Go ahead and watch it. Come on! We don't have all day!!! By the way, Kaku, Teressa, Jonathan, and me- That's right, yours truly, created this. Please comment. BE RESPECTFUL TO EARTH!

  3. Nice job Camp Half Bloods (love this name too!). It's Earth Week this week and my 3rd graders will watch your video tomorrow. Perhaps some of them will blog about your message (especially the 4th R) - will it be ok if they link to video?

  4. Great job. You're right, we need to think more when we make purchases. I really liked the picture of the choking earth. That was very effective.

  6. Thank you students for a simple but powerful message. I appreciated that you not only presented the problem, but offered solutions as well. "Bring your own Bag" and "Bring your own Cup" are two really simple and doable ideas that people can start doing to make a difference.

  12. Good job! I bought my Costco bag and use it for lots of things. I also try not to take plastic bags from places unless I really need them, and then try to reuse them many times. I know that there are so many things we should "rethink" about. We all have to start making changes.Rethinking is something we all need to do. Thank you for such an eye-opening video. I will share this with my little ones tomorrow.

  13. That was a very powerful video and made me "rethink" when I am offered a plastic bag at the store. Thanks so much for sharing your video.

    cheers
