Project Reuse

Community Action for Teens — Mon, 19 May 2008 17:06:40 -0500

Doraville is a growing community with a growing number of immigrant and refugee families. The area is very diverse with many Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese and Mexican Americans. Our goal is to bring all of these diverse people together to bring awareness to the global issue of preserving our environment. The preservation of our Earth is a cause that crosses all lines of color, race, ethnicity, religion and culture. Doraville is an area that doesn't have many recycling centers or environmental preservation or conservation campaigns.

Environmental Education Through Schools

I am a Peace Corps Volunteer in Trusesti, Romania teaching at a K-8th school. I am searching for help with a project to increase awareness and education about the environment.

In my community, streets and sewage systems are filled with garbage, plastic is overused then burned and recycling is not a common practice. Even today the effects of an industrial communist regime can be seen by the low priority given to the environment and lack of understanding the consequences of ones actions in relation to the environment.

Jamaica Plain clean-up

Living in the city, there is constantly litter on the streets, even in the environmentally-friendly Jamaica Plain. Jamaica Plain is a wonderful community that is unlike a typical city in many ways. Jamaica Plain has many activities, groups, and community events for the arts and culture. I think what Jamaica Plain needs is youth involvement in the environment, specifically with the issues of litter on the streets. For most Jamaica Plain residents, they take pride in where they live. We need to instill this pride in Jamaica Plain youth.

Recycle at Your School

Northeast High did not have a recycling program at the school, so the Northeast Ecology club contacted the Recycling department of Broward and bought bins and placed them around the school. Every Tuesday and Thursday, volunteers go around to collect the bins, and take them to the recycling bins, where they are picked up Wednesdays and Fridays.Our next steps are to go to the elementary school down the street, and try to get a recycling program started there, and educate them about recycling and environment.

Join the Scene with the Greene Machine... cause the Greene Machine will pick it CLEAN!

It's time we make Greene County GREEN again! While taking a walk in our beautiful rural area... I noticed trash everywhere! How did our community ever get so trashed? I decided that all that needed to be done was for someone to start picking it up. We can't wait any longer not just here in our small community but everywhere. We need to unite together and dream of clean scene!

Who: 6th - 8th graders
What: Pick up trash and recycle it and write articles related to the Greene Machine.

Save Carsonia Lake

I hope to be able to save the lake and the creatures in it . I say creatures because their is many thing in their ;like trash, oil, leaches, turtles, fish, frogs, ducks, and water that runs in off the street. One time I saw a baby duck dead with fishingline around its neck. Another time a lady came up to me with a trutle it had a old rusted barrbed fishing hook in its mouth and out its eye hole. I hope to change that with this grant.

Have you ever heard of the Decatur Dream Center?

Healthy Beaches

greendream — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 17:26:00 -0600

I have been working to clean our local beaches almost every week. I also hosted the International Coastal Cleanup for our local beach and several community cleanups. We remove all kinds of garbage like plastics, cigarette butts, bottle caps and other very detrimental items like rope, 6 pack rings, oil containers. These items endanger our wildlife and every piece of garbage disposed of properly may save animals, birds or fish from dangerous entanglement or perhaps indirectly improve our health.

Clinton High School EcoAction Club

The Clinton High School EPC is a group of students devoted to beautifying not only our school, but also our community. Our school uses hundreds of pounds of recyclable materials that unfortunately end up in a landfill.
