EJSHS Greenteam

I'm very excited about being a part of the Green Team this year. I have learned some about what the Green Team does and I am more then happy to contribute my idea's and help to the school. I think that our goals are very manageable and they will help us get out information about recycling, terracycling, composting, and conserving energy. I think that my favorite project this year will be expanding everything we do here at the high school to the elementary school. The elementary school doesn't even have simple recycling. It would help our district save money and just help get the word out about what we're doing here at school. Our community isn't really informed about what we're doing at school and I think they should be educated about everything so they can also do what we're doing. I think it would really help our community out.

Me about the "green team"

I wasn't that interested when I first was in this class. Through out the pasted two weeks I have learned a lot about this class and have become very interested in the "Green Team". I hope we can get a lot projects started and hopefully Finish a couple, in the next couple years I hope we get a lot of interest in this Science program, and collect trash through out the year that's not going to the land field.

EJSHS GreenTeam

At the beginning of the year, I only took this class because I thought it was just going to be an easy A. Which it kind of is, but it also requires you to be involved and use your hands as much as your brain, and I learn a lot better when I am doing hand s on things. As these past couple of weeks have went by I have became more and more excited about being apart of the Green Team and making a difference. I was pretty excited about getting as t-shirt also! but I haven't quite convinced Mrs. hart. Our goals go as far as what we can do right now and what people in the near future can do to keep our goals growing. I think if we apply our 5 initiatives to every project we do, we could go far.

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".

Green Team- Season 2

The school year is well underway and the same goes for the green team. This year's members are: Tayler Smith, Taylor Moore, Madison Strate, Wyatt Kelly, Tanner Frakes, Jesse Fisher, Angel Fisher, Shelby McMullen, Jerry Alexander, and Wayne Moots.

In addition to learning about solid waste management, we have set in motion plans for Terracycle expansion to the elementary school, additional composting of food waste with the help of a compost tumbler, and the acquisition of a mechanical mixer that will help us compost our proteins.
