High school Green Team looks locally for partners
December 14, 2017
The U-High Green Team is partnering with the middle school environmental club and members of the Earl Shapiro Hall, lower and middle school faculty to create a Green Team board which will advocate for better environmental representation throughout the school.
“It’s important to remember that Lab school is one entity,” high school Green Team president Victoria Gin said. “It’s much easier to make change when you have a larger team, branched out across grades and schools.”
Specifically, the Green Team is planning on beginning an initiative to promote plastic recycling throughout the schools.
“We are collecting plastic and giving it to a company called Trex. They use recycled plastic and create it into decks and many other outdoor things,” Victoria said.
