How Does the Green Team Earn $Green$?

The Green Team is active in many fundraising endeavors such as concession stands throughout the school year, Terracycle Collection, and Planet Green Recycling. With Terracycle and Planet Green Recycle, we are removing items from the waste stream and turning them into cash for our projects!
Want to find out how you can help? First, do your research, visit Terracycle.net and register, then become a part of the EJSHS Green Team by selecting it from the menu options. When your finished registering there, go over to www.planetgreenrecycle.com/ejshsgreenteam and buy recycled ink cartridges from the website because 15% of the purchase price goes to the Green Team! Second, drop of your used ink cartridges and old cell phones in one of the many 'Planet Green' drop off boxes around town. In addition, start collecting those Terracyclable items such as Mars candy wrappers, Capri Sun and Kool-Aid drink pouches, and Frito-Lay chip bags to turn into the Green Team!

We're Being Attacked!

The Green Team's community garden is getting a sour taste of nature, if its not swallowtail caterpillars on our parsley, its hornworms and grasshoppers on our tomatoes! Because the Green Team would like to keep the garden free of artificial insecticides/herbicides we are going to use the idea that the local greenhouse operator gave us a while back: attack bad bugs with good bugs! We are going to use the harmless and tiny Braconid wasp, which is a natural parasite to the hornworm, to help get the population under check! This wasp will help with other pests as well!!

In the future, we are also going to plant dill, parsley, fennel, and cilantro close to our tomatoes in order to curb the hornworm population! If you have any other ideas, please let us know!!
