I worked for months with my mentor, school principal, superintendent, deans, and janitors to gather all the information available regarding the consumption and waste of LSHS. Also performed by own studies within the research, such as counting the number of plastic water bottles thrown at lunch, how much people recycle, and how much paper we use.
