THINKING IN SUNLIGHT: SUPPORT PGS STUDENT-PRESIDENT, HEATHER MORECOCK, AS SHE DREAMS IN GREEN

By late May or early June, Heather Morecock hopes to see her fellow students enjoying an outdoor classroom in a courtyard at Oliver Ames High School (Easton, MA). Morecock’s senior project, [in partnership with Project Green Schools and National Green Schools Society],Thinking in Sunlight, is to create a place for students to learn out in the fresh air or just spend time. With COVID, having an outdoor classroom space will be particularly helpful.

In order to raise funds for her project, Heather became an inaugural partner with Boon Supply Market. Boon Supply is a marketplace where you can find everyday essentials while also giving back to a great cause like Heather's. Their motto of “Good for You, Good for the Planet, and Good for the Community” shines through!

“The goal of this project is not only to provide students with a unique learning space, but to also teach students the importance of fostering a respectful relationship with nature,” Morecock said. “It is my hope that this classroom will enhance Easton's pursuit of sustainable development.” READ THE FULL ARTICLE: https://www.wickedlocal.com/story/journal-news-independent/2021/03/31/easton-outdoor-classroom-could-open-spring-oahs-your-help/4811727001/?fbclid=IwAR1IvX2JJJuOKqBEdaYQOLaEgr97OviMf0-u29UjE2QVGQGKfQ5256Gcrog

Thank you in advance for your support of our incredible student leader, Heather, and her senior project. Know your timely support will connect students at Oliver Ames High School and neighboring schools to the great outdoors at a time when nature is needed the most.

Sincerely, Robin Buchanan-Founder and Executive Director of Project Green Schools

Product design student Holly Grounds .holly has replaced the many plastic sachets that accompany a pack of instant noodles with an edible, spice-infused wrapper that breaks down when cooked to season the broth.

The packaging consists of a flavourless biofilm, which is made from only a handful of readily-available ingredients including potato starch, glycerin and water.

Once it has been heat sealed, the film keeps the dry noodles from going stale. But as soon as it comes into contact with boiling water it dissolves in less than a minute.

Holly was motivated by the many long days and nights she spent studying, which were fuelled by packets of instant ramen often containing "more plastic than noodle".

She became hyperaware of the irony that a dish that was designed to be cooked and eaten in under ten minutes comes in packaging that takes upwards of eight decades to decompose.

Her dissolvable wrapper was conceived as an alternative to this mountain of single-use plastic, as well as to its bioplastic substitutes, which she says often fall short of their promises.
