Panasonic Eco-Citizenship Competition
Congratulations to two of our amazing GRMS G&T groups who placed in the top 15 out of hundreds of submissions in the NJ Panasonic Student Eco Citizenship Program!
“From Trends to Trash” addressed the impact of fast fashion and clothing waste. The students raised awareness through posters and announcements and collected 183 items for the Purple Heart Foundation in just two weeks.
“Halt with the Salt” focused on the environmental dangers of road salt and promoted alfalfa meal as a safer alternative. The group created a petition, collected over 50 signatures, and shared their message with state leaders. They also hope to launch an eco-citizenship club to continue their work.
