 * It's PC time again! **
 * What are things that bug you? What would you like to study and possibly suggest a policy solution to? Be sure to discuss with your parents and list your ideas below: **

From Mr. Bentley:
 * Kick-off Activitiy: "What bugs me!" **
 * 1) We have a lot of food being thrown away, going to landfills and making greenhouse gasses. We don't have a district/school policy on food waste. (We have volunteers, but no actual "rules" on food waste disposal.)
 * 2) We waste a lot of energy as a district and could use that money elsewhere. We don't have an official district/school policy on energy use. Especially when it comes to lights and small heaters, refrigerators, microwaves, coffee pots. We have recommendations but no actual policies.
 * 3) Kids don't understand the importance of healthy food.
 * 4) Elk Grove seems to have no "personality." It's just a suburb to Sacramento without any unique defining characteristics.
 * Student Directions: **Go home and talk with your parents. Talk with your friends. Talk about what "bugs you." Get ideas and bring them back to class. Somethings might be big. Some ideas might be small. No ideas are bad ideas at this time, however, not all ideas would make for a policy-based solution. If that's the case, maybe what bugs you needs to be handled on a personal or civil society level. Is it possible that some problems can NEVER be solved? Discuss with your family and friends and then be ready to discss these ideas back in class!
