I think the main thing about this topic was what is the future of or school is going to look like. My roles, rights and responsibilities is recycling at home by putting recycled materials into the recycling bin so we can use it to make other stuff for the community like toys, bottles, machines and paper. At school I can be sustainable by achieving my gaols and doing my homework every week.
