Plainfield Students Help the Homeless ... through Recycling

Submitted by District 202:

Plainfield High School -- Central Campus BioExplorations Club member Kimberli Smith (left) and Donna Morrow show off a sleeping mat made for homeless people out of recycled plastic grocery bags. 


Morrow is a member of  the "New Life for Old Bags" organization. She recently visited several District 202 schools to help students make the sleeping mats by weaving plastic grocery bags together, which also helps keep the plastic bags out of landfills. 

Also pictured are BioExplorations Club members Shawnece Sanders (far left), Jack Plewa and Georgia Konrad.
