Chapel Hill High School is not the most eco-friendly place in town. It is located in an amazingly green town, but I know that we are not properly representing the town we live in. Our school's attitude towards sustainability is, recycling is good. We seem to only practice that one concept. That's a great start, but when I see all the styrofoam trays used, sinks being left on in the bathroom, no post-consumer paper, it knocks me on my side. Our school has the potential to improve and that's where Green Tiger Campaign began.
The Green Tiger Campaign (named after our mascot) is a campaign driven by students (without fossil fuels, of course). Over the next few years we are here, we will do several projects to educate other students/faculty about sustainability and put those lessons into action.
Through collaborative effort between our campaign and staff, we are changing out old policies and replacing them with ones that are better for students,teachers and the earth!
Green Tiger Campaign advertised a need for students who care about earth in the school. Within a month, we have about fifteen members who are all willing to do projects to benefit our earth. As of now, our main project is to prepare our old school greenhouse for the spring, when we will use it for a community garden. We are changing faculty's ideas about how they use resources and students are beginning to get excited about these events and want to get involved.
If you attend Chapel Hill High school, please rally support for the Green Tiger Campaign. If not, try creating your own school campaign and find its specific problems when it comes to sustainability. Then you can fix it!
