[14th] At Yamashita Midoridai Elementary School, we observed the making of soap that reuses waste oil!

　On Monday, July 3, a fourth-year student at Yamashita Midoridai Elementary School observed the making of soap using vegetable waste oil from restaurants, which was working on using the time of "comprehensive learning". .
　First, put water and caustic soda in a can, stir for 15 minutes, then add waste oil and stir for another 30 minutes. The children took turns and worked carefully, listening eagerly to the explanation. Put the finished mixture in milk packs and colorful molds, and today's work is over. It seems to wait about a month until it is completely solidified.
　The completed soap will be handed to the elderly in the community with a letter from the children at a later date.
　The Yamashita Eco-Life Association, which has been engaged in environmental activities in the Yamashita district for more than 20 years, has been selected as a decarbonization promotion course under the Midori Ward Regional Challenge Proposal Project, which is supported by the Midori Ward.
　Mr. Ueda, the representative, said, "I'm very pleased with the children's soap and letters. I want to deliver soap to more people. "He said.
　It was a wonderful initiative that served both environmental activities and watching over the elderly. I hope you will continue to do so in the future.
