Green Monsters have developed a whole school recycle program. We placed a recycle bin in every classroom in our school. Every Friday, we collect the recycle materials and we place them in the recycle room. We recycle paper, card board, bottles and cans. Last year, we recycled more than 3000 pounds of paper and more than 500 can and bottles. This year our goal is to recycle 5000 pounds of paper and 1000 bottles. Go Green! Go Clean!

To promote literacy in our community, students in our school were asked to donate "gently used" children's books. The books are being donated to several agencies in our area, including Red Cross, Inter-Faith Ministries, the Wichita Children's Home, and Catholic Charities, so that children in need will have books to read. Besides helping the environment by recycling these books, students who donated were also assisting children in our community who have been affected by poverty in such a way that they do not have access to children's books away from school.

Our town recently, in the past few years, built a new school. In our old school we had an established recylcing program that was lost in the transition between schools. It is the goal of our senior class to reinstate recycling in our school system to promote being GREEN.

If we lined up all of the styrofoam cups made in one day the line would stretch around the world! The worst part is that styrofoam never breaks down. Never. Also, sea animals like eating this plastic foam and it usually kills them and chemicals in styrofoam cause global warming.

After composing an essay and doing an interview, I became a volunteer at the San Diego Zoo. This gave me an opportunity to talk to the public about pressing environmental issues such as habitat destruction and climate change. With the help of "biofacts" - such as furs, tusks and feathers - I began to spread the word of endangered species around the world. But I also presented onlookers with small, simple solutions that have the potential to make real differences.

With this one you can, if you don't mind me saying, kill two birds with one stone. You'll be recycling and helping animals at the same time.
Have you noticed the machines at supermarkets and other places that you can put bottles, cans, and other recycables in? Usually you get five cents for each bottle, can, jar, etc. When you raise enough money you can adopt an animal online at www.wwf.org or www.nwf.org or you can give the money to an animal shelter/other environmental organization.

I always say that every little bit counts and it’s true. This project is fairly simple. Just follow the steps below, all of them or just one. Then try to get five friends to do the same.

I notice people at school throwing away their plastic bags like it is nothing. It upsets me very much to see this. I want more environmental awareness at our school. I am going to change the environment at our school with recycling bins. This will in turn change the environment of the world. I want people to reuse or recycle their waste. I will be very outspoken about about protecting our environment. I think it should be one of the top issues with Americans today.

The RUBEY Project (Recycling Used Bicycles by Educating Youth) has a mission to provide local youth (ages 7-14)with the education and skills needed to help them gain independence in the community. Participants learn how to repair, maintain, and construct used bicycles by practicing hands-on, minds-on activities with a variety of bicycle mechanics and advocates. Participation in the program qualifies them to receive a newly renovated bicycle, free bicycle helmet, and bicycle skills lessons. This is a no-cost program designed to benefit communities and the families that create them.

Our chapter’s main concern is that students in our school district and families in our community do not know the risks that are placed on our environment by not recycling.
