Plastic water bottles Student campaign to reduce the use of plastic water bottles. Students asked for a simple commitment to reduce personal waste by giving up bottled water, even if it's just a few days each week. Together, filtered water and a reusable bottle are an ideal solution for going green at home and on the go. It's an easy change that can make a big difference.

Students created a raised bed garden for edible plants. It was rewarding for us to see how these students have been processing some complex ideas and reasons for having a school garden e.g. global warming, ecosystem, food web, nutrition, health and importance of nature connections, school and garden economy.
