In 2020, Nana and Bea collaborated to start an environmentally focused club at Burroughs. COVID-19 impacted everyone hugely and in compulsion we had to isolate ourselves for a long period of time. However, during this quarantine period, our environment has become cleaner because of reduced transportation, which was observable in many places in the world. This inspired Nana and Bea to help make John Burroughs High School more environmentally friendly and to inspire our community to do the same.
