At the end of Term 2, 2018, the For the Future Plastic Bottle Greenhouse 2.0 structure is 90% completed. We relocated our completed structure (1.0) by dismantling and rebuilding onto another existing structure beside the Kaitataki block. Throughout Term 1 and Term 2, we reached out to the school community for help as we needed more plastic bottles to complete the new structure. The Greenhouse 2.0 is almost twice the size of the 1.0 version, which meant that we needed a lot more plastic bottles than what we already had. This year the collector of highest number of bottles goes to Ms Mary Faave from the reprographic office, single-handedly collecting almost 200 bottles. We spent a few days throughout Term 2 cleaning and sorting the new bottles out but the bulk of the work was completed in the last two days of Term 2. More details about the construction of Greenhouse 2.0 will be in the next post, so go check it out!
We would like to thank everyone who contributed through plastic bottles because without you, we couldn't have done it! Please help spread the word of the great work being done here in Alfriston College and South Auckland by using the hashtag #forthefuture. For any queries, don't hesitate to email forthefuture@gmail.com.
Yours sincerely,
For the future.
