going green activites/events for highschool

julia-gulia Sep 16, 2008 06:18pm Total Posts: 8	I am just wondering if anyone has some interesting and fun ideas for activities or events or anything along that line that could promote “going/thinking green” within a highschool? I am from a small school, around 450 students in total grades 5-12, and I am the social convenor and public relations officer on my highschool’s student union. I have been thinking about holding some sort of event or “spirit week” activity that would help get the message of going green out to fellow students. My only main problem: small school = small school spirit. It’s pretty hard to get active involvement in many of the events the student union plans. But any helpful suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!=) Julia

So that might be a fun thing for you to do. Its tough cause kids don’t wanna listen, accept for the awesome kids like us, and they just ignore everything thinking that it will be solved. sorry if I didnt help you out which im pretty sure I didnt, good luck though. check out: http://www.myspace.com/drewciampa

I got tired of waiting for others to start something. I am glad to hear that you are doing something at your high school. Here is what we did at my work, maybe you can use some of these ideas: Held extravaganza centered around promoting local companies, recycling, and environmental awareness with following activities: - Electronics waste recycling - filled pick up truck with workable and non-workable electronics (workable items were donated to Goodwill, and non-workable taken to responsible e-waste recycling facility) - Shoe recycling to donate to Soles4Souls (http://www.soles4souls.org/) - Posted eco-challenges (such as replace 5 incandescent bulbs with CFL, go to farmer’s market this month, don’t eat meat 2 days/wk) - Sign-up sheet for Green Team - Green Trivia game - points awarded for every recycling item brought, for every challenge signed up for, for every trivia item won - Prizes donated from local eco-companies awarded to people with most points It was a lot of fun and a big success! Hopefully this gave you some ideas!
