We’re recycling more than ever! We are trying to reduce our waste & bring litterless lunches. We still return drink boxes & bottles for refunds. We recycle paper, and we compost our food scraps. There are more mixed containers we can recycle now (even takeout coffee cups!). And with the Recycle BC’s new pilot program for soft plastics and a wonderful volunteer to deliver those items as well as our Styrofoam, we have almost nothing left to send to the landfill.
Our new containers for our hallway stations are making things easier, but we are still learning what to put where. Do you know what to do with your waste at school? Test yourself with this little sorting game. (If you see a warning about Flash, click the link & click “Allow” so the game will run. On the Scratch Website, you can play the full screen version, look inside at the code or even try your own remix.)
I think this is a very good game and a test, We get the chance is learn and have some fun and it doesn’t matter if we make a mistake, we still learn from that mistake but I think u should make levels and make it harder and harder, it would be lots of fun but overall It was a great learning tool and really fun 🙂
I’m not sure everyone will want to play this game THAT much, but I like your optimism! I also appreciate your faith in my ability. Maybe you will have a look at the code and find some adjustments to make.
Nice game MR. Milloy i liked how you made this game because it’s about recycle and about helping students put the refundable in the right place or the garbage or the recycling bin and you also showed that we got a new bin in the community one thing you should work on is it’s kinda hard to see but the games amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it, Ben. I agree. The size of the images, the space to represent the bins, and the size of the whole stage make seeing everything difficult. It was also tricky to quickly write code to reset the game with new objects in random places but so they can still be visible. Maybe you and other classmates will look inside at the code and find a way to change this game or write a completely new one!
The game is extremely cool and a great way to teach little kids as well as adults. I REALLY enjoyed it .
I wonder who NEEDS to learn from this game more and who WILL learn more from this game: adults or kids!?
this game is fun!!!
Glad you like it. It was also pretty interesting to make.
This game was fun! Its also a good game for learning more about recycling.
I’m glad you think so. I wonder what kind of game we could make that might encourage people to reduce & reuse more so we can start consuming fewer of Earth’s resources.
i think its cool to learn how to get used to the new bin
I’m glad you think so. I agree, it is cool to be more responsible and to treat our planet (& each other) better.
I really like this new recycling system. I really like scratch as well. One thing that I think is better then the last system is that a lot of things that used to be in the garbage can now be recycled.i wonder if one day straws can be recycled.
Thanks for getting behind our new system. I am excited that we can now reduce our waste & recycle more. I don’t know how soon straws might be recyclable, but maybe the bans on straws & other plastics that many cities and nations are putting in place <https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/24/european-parliament-approves-ban-on-single-use-plastics-uk-eu-brexit> will encourage us to just stop using items that add to our waste but that we don’t actually need. Here’s hoping!
This game is really well made! really want to know how you made it!
Thank you. I’ve updated the post with a link to the full screen version on the Scratch Website. There, you can exit full screen mode and look inside at the code. Enjoy!
