WHY SHOULD I CHANGE?
I love coffee. I drink Trim flat whites extra hot. I always get them in a disposable cup. I love disposable cups because they are fast and easy to get, no washing up or worrying where I put it, they feel nice and light to carry. They are handy for putting other rubbish into when I have them in my car. It suits my routine. I buy one in the morning and one in the afternoon every school day. They cost me $4.50 a cup. People are now challenging me to stop using disposable cups. Why would I stop doing something that I really enjoy and suits my lifestyle? If you want me to change you need to convince and persuade me that I could still enjoy my coffee but give me an alternative way to do it? Working out these maths problems may help you come up with your answers. I drink 2 cups of disposable coffee each school day. Each cup cost $4.50 How much do I spend on coffee In one day is 9$ In one week is 45$ In one term is 450$ In one year is 1800$ How many coffee cups do I throw out ? In one day? In one week? In one term? In one year? Is it really a big deal? On Friday the 9 June contestants will have an opportunity to present their arguments to Whaea Steph. The most convincing presentation wins. This can be done as individual, pairs or groups of no more than 4. The winners get to have their photos and success story published in the school newsletter, on our website and our facebook page and….. Whaea Steph will buy you a hot chocolate to share when she has her coffee…. And you will have the pleasure of getting Whaea Steph to change. |
