Bettendorf Middle SCHOOL IS “TRASH”

JOSHUA BECHT SCOTT REISEN, SAM JUDGE, ROBERT MARSHALL, CHANDLER VOELCKER

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

◼ OUR PROBLEM IS THAT MANY PEOPLE DROP TRASH ON THE GROUND BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO LAZY TO THROW IT IN THE GARBAGE.

SPECIFIC GOAL FOR IMPROVEMENT:

◼ OUR FIRST GOAL IS TO GET OUR SCHOOL CLEAN. AFTER WE ACCOMPLISH THIS WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL.

◼ DATA REQUIRED OR NEEDED RESOURCES: TRASH BAGS AND PLASTIC GLOVES.

◼ ROOT CAUSES & STATISTICS: IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS 75%OF PEOPLE HAVE ADMITTED TO LITTERING. 50% OF ALL ITEMS LITTERED ARE CIGARETTE BUTTS. 9 BILLION TONS OF LITTER IS DUMPED INTO THE OCEAN EVERY YEAR.

BARRIERS:

◼ WHAT ARE THE ISSUES OUT THERE THAT ARE KEEPING PEOPLE FROM SOLVING OUR PROBLEM? WE BELIEVE THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH TRASH CANS OUTSIDE.

◼ ACTION ALREADY IN PLACE: NOTHING IN PLACE RIGHT NOW

◼ ACTION PLAN (STEPS): WE ARE GOING TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE WEEK AND ALSO HAVE THE STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT SPEAK ON THE INTERCOM.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EACH STEP?

◼ JOSH & SCOTT: IN CHARGE OF MAKING SURE PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF LITTERING AND GETTING PEOPLE TO HELP STOP LITTERING AT BMS.

◼ JOSH IS IN CHARGE OF KEEPING PEOPLE ON TASK AND MAKING SURE PROGRESS IS BEING MADE .

◼ SCOTT: IN CHARGE OF MAKING SURE EVERYONE IS INCLUDED IN HELPING PICK UP LITTER.

◼ JOSH, SAM, CHANDLER, SCOTT, AND ROBERT GET PEOPLE TO STOP LITTERING.

◼ LUKE: ANOUNNCE IT ON THE INTERCOM.

THIS IS NOT WHAT WE WANT FOR OUR SCHOOL DO WE ???

◼ THIS IS NOT COOL PEOPLE.

CLEAN BMS!
