The school board just confirmed that Crescent College is officially moving to a single-use plastic free campus. I am honestly stunned that this happened and it is entirely because of the 371 of you who spoke up. Please keep looking out for each other as we begin this new chapter …

Single-use plastics are plastics that are only used once and then they are thrown away. Plastic waste polluting our oceans and waterways is one of the biggest problems facing our generation. By 2050, there will be more plastic ins. our oceans than fish. To combat this, we want Crescent College Comprehensive to take positive action, to create social and cultural change, to embed a non-use of single-use plastic into each student's moral code and to change our behaviour to better our environment.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have joined this effort since I started it. This progress belongs entirely to you because I never thought we would reach this level of momentum. It is truly humbling to see so many others who care as much as I do about our school environment.

As a family ,we have always been mindful of protecting our environment and have reduced, reused and recycled for years now. Why anyone cannot use the same cup for tea/coffee really puzzles me. An extra charge should be put on every cup and that should help people take note
