The Environmentalists is a group of students dedicated to improving the environment.
Founded in 2015, we have had an ambitious start to the program. We orignially started as a school recycling club. Then based on an energy curriculum grant from ESP (Energizing Student Potential) sponsored by BP, Exelon, ComEd, Nicor and People's Gas, we expanded to energy conservation strategies.
Here is a list of what we have accomplished thus far:
- recycling program at school              
- recycling drives for the community        
- upcycling workshops
- art mural project                            
- community clean ups                            
- Skip the Straw campaign
- Bernie's Book Bank drive                
- Habitat Hotels for pollinators

Environmentalists Schedule

Starting Oct 15, regular weekly meetings will be on Thursdays after school until 4:30 pm.

Some students may want to work on competition projects, so small group meetings may meet at other times depending on student interest.
