During sophomore year, my friend and I noticed that there were no recycling bins in our school. We thought it was ridiculous that the school was not recycling despite the ability to do so. We decided to create Project Green. The focus of the club is to get the school to recycle and encourage “going green.” As the club’s vice president, I help educate my fellow classmates on the importance of preserving the environment. We also hold meetings to share ideas with other environmental clubs. One meeting occurred at NJIT where we met with professionals to learn more efficient methods of recycling. Last spring, our club went to the elementary schools to educate younger children on the value of recycling. This year we hope to expand the club to other high schools. I am passionate about protecting the earth and hope to join or start an environmental club in college.
