Today, our group, continued working on our project to better Kamehameha Schools. During 6th period we went to the SPC and created 2 posters for the Akahi food lines. We designed the information part of the posters on Friday and had them approved this past Tuesday by Mr. Morris of Akahi. At the SPC we created them. We created the posters with a yellow background because we thought it would be more noticeable. To make them more attractive we created small boarders around the edge of the paper. We also laminated the posters so that the Akahi staff could keep them and use them multiple times. If these posters prove to help reduce waste then we are going to create a few more so they can have some for the back lines. Once we finished the posters we went straight to Akahi.
When we got to Akahi today we found that there were no more plates! They have been replaced with trays! This, fortunately, works in our favor. The trays have multiple sections that limit the amount of food that can be placed in each section. These trays will help students to take proper portions because of the sectioning. Hopefully it will also help to reduce food waste as well as its intended goal to reduce water waste.
A few things we noticed today while in the dinning hall were that some students are starting to notice what we are doing, but some students are disregarding it. As I was serving myself lunch, a sophomore girl asked one of her friends if they had to take one hot dog or if they could take more. This goes to show that some students are actually seeing the displays we put up, unfortunately she had not noticed the sign or had not comprehended its words because it said to take only what you can eat and if you are not sure then take the proper portion (i.e. what is on the display). I also noticed today that there were a couple of male sophomore students who had 4 hot dogs on each of their trays. I was not around to see if they wasted any of them but I thought about watching them and seeing if they wasted them.
