Right now we are focusing on raising money so that we are able to make 5POP starter kits for other schools. These will have information about 5POP and hopefully they will join the 5POP army!!!!! Things are kind of slowing down ,but not in a bad way. Right now we have to wait to be able to get known in other schools and cities. When you are patient then you will be able to do many things in life. If we told other schools right away about 5POP they would probably think nothing of it because we had not done anything yet that would let them get involved. Now we have this website and a facebook page. Hopefully we will be able to raise enough money to get other schools involved!!!

We are soon going to have kids at our school adopt-a-drain which means they will have to take care of that drain and if there is garbage in the drain then they will need to clean it up. This should be a start to making sure that no plastic goes in the drain because if it does then it goes into a creek which then leads to the bay and finally to the ocean..

Today at school we interviewed first graders about 5pop. One girl named Laura said she knows now to pick up garbage. A kid named Zoe said that they were sad because the picture of the bird with the plastic in its stomach was dead. Asher said that he and his friends found a box and collected garbage and recycles around the school and put it in the box. Bianca said that she didn’t get a card yet so she hasn’t signed it. Joey is planning to tell his parents about 5pop. Last kid was Collin, we asked if he could talk to an animal what would you tell them about 5pop and he said “5pop will save your lives.”

It was the Good Morning, America program on the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” that inspired us to action. Watch it and see how you feel about it. The problem is: we  are spending too much time worrying about ourselves more than the enviroment!

Our solution is cleaning up our enviroment everyday and making a difference!

On Day 1 we collected over six buckets of garbage and recyclables on our campus. However, clean up on campus today was somewhat of a disaster. We were not as successful picking up plastic, because some people in our class started to mess around which ticked off the teachers.This is a lesson to everyone. We should not mess around because we are wasting time that is valuable to our earth. The animals are depending on us!

Join the 5POP army!!!
