Mrs. Basilio's Class Skype!

Mrs. Basilio's 8th period geography class participated in a Skype session with David Katz of PlasticBank.org. David skyped from his office in British Columbia."PlasticBank's mission is to empower people in impoverished countries at the same time removing plastic ocean bound waste from the land, oceans and waterways. People harvest plastics as a currency they can exchange for tools, household items, parts & 3D printing. The overall goal is to lead the movement towards the worldwide demand for "social plastic" in everyday products. (http://plasticbank.org) The students researched PlasticBank's mission and developed questions to pose to David Katz. It was a great interactive session for both the students and David with a strong connection to our current unit of study.
