Do Something Good

Over the summer, Mrs. Dwosh, one of our advisors, encouraged us to spend the weekend and week doing something good and doing something different. Whether it be eating something new, wearing something new, or doing something kind, we were all encouraged to take the time to consciously think about the tiny but powerful actions we can do daily that can have a resounding impact on ourselves and others. We highly encourage you to take action with us and become more aware of the small steps you can start in becoming sustainably and environmentally vigilant. You can find what we did below, in addition to other actions you can take.
