The Green Team is a consortium of students, parents, faculty, and staff dedicated to helping our school become more environmentally friendly. Last spring, the Green Team held LJA's first waste audit. They collected all matters of waste tossed into the school's bins over a 24-hour period, and then pulled out, sorted, cataloged, counted, and weighed every item. With support from the Kokua Hawaii Foundation, we now have a clearer understanding of the types and quantities of waste we produce. For example, in just one day LJA disposed of almost 139 pounds of food scraps, over 50 pounds of plastics, and 35 pounds of HI-5 recyclables. It is our goal to make measurable reductions. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact one of the Green Team's co-coordinators, seniors Aidan Anderson or Aiden Spagnoli.
