Blue Streak- Visit (Jeff)

Sorry I did not get to post this sooner. But during break Atlas, Laurence and I went to Blue Streak 3 times. As Atlas said we knew much about it and the wind power affect but they didn’t have anything else to say to us that we didn’t already know. But we learned that Chelsea Piers is trying to make the whole place 100% green, by adding more recycling bins around. I think it is important that we recycle and I think that are school should do more recycling. This made us think that we should do more recycling of plastic, glass and cans. 100% of Chelsea Piers energy use is offset by certified green-power generated by wind. The main majority of waste at Chelsea Piers is comprised of plastic soda and water bottles. In order to keep these out of the landfill, Chelsea Piers staff will remove all bottles and cans for on-site collection, shredding and distribution to a plastics recycling facility. So, I think all 3 of us know enough of this topic that we should do our day of learning on it. They really work hard on making there whole place “Green.” And I think that it’s great. They have even created there own Green team.
