Staples Contest Post

According to the rules and regulations page for the Staples contest [http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Static/static_pages.asp?pagename=rferules], a student from our school must submit a 500-word essay about how their school is environmentally responsible.
I believe Mackenzie is a prime candidate for this title for many reasons.
Because of this, I have formulated some ideas that we can put on the final essay that we send in to Staples.

First off, our school is very environmentally friendly in the sense that we have a club called SWITCH. SWITCH is the first club in the TDSB to incorporate solar panels for use in a TDSB school. This is big news for the environmental community because solar panels are the future, and here at Mackenzie, we are the first of few people to take initiative to go foreward with being environmentally friendly.

Another reason that I believe Mackenzie is a good candidate for this contest is that we have many other clubs like gardening club, Envirothon, and Wind-Eng, to name a few.
These clubs focus on improving the environment and how to contribute to a cleaner earth. All of these clubs suggest that Mackenzie is environmentally responsible.

Lastly, Mackenzie supports many events like Earth Hour, where the environment is greatly improved. We save electricity as much as possible, by making sure all lights are shut off when not in use and many small but important actions like that.

These three reasons are why I believe Mackenzie is an amazing candidate for the Staples $50,000 Recycle For Education Contest.
