What? Why? And How?

The primary role I play in the EJSHS greenteam is to provide ideas and support to the teams primary goals. Not only provide ideas, but also improve on the ideas of others if any is needed. All brainstorming, self-correction, and insightful discussions allow us to develop more economical practices along with those practices in which deter our amount of waste produced in our school and homes. The entire point is to develop ideas that are realistic and practical considering we are working on a small scale on a world-wide problem. Also although we cant change the worlds practices in a single day or even by the end of this year, we can influence the surrounding community to begin to change their waste practices and develop a more environmentally conscious mindset. When all is said and done the hopes that someone somewhere has changed the way the choose to dispose of their waste material has benefited the environment and the surrounding community along with the hopes that that same person is willing to influence friends, family, and acquaintances to do the same. There is a theory that everyone is related in the world through six people that you know and six people that each one of those people know, so realistically we are trying an environmental version of the movie "Pay it forward".
