Create a Club
If you want to help out your community and have complete control over the projects that you can do, you can create an environmental club. It is a great way to get more people interested in saving the planet and have more significant group projects with more people to help. You can create year-long projects or small, weekly projects; you can have complete control by creating a club. To find out more environmental clubs, check out Scientific American’s website.
School Gardening Project
With school garden projects, you can have many benefits, such as creating a group/team you can rely on, healthy food you can share with your school and a much “cleaner” lifestyle by going greener. It increases their knowledge of science and is a direct education method. If this sounds interesting, learn more about school gardening projects here.
Art Contest
If you want to create a sustainable project for your community, you can start a competition at your school, giving everyone a chance to make their sustainable project. Encouraging competition and creativity at your school will educate them about sustainability and stimulate their minds, which will help them later. You can make 50% of the artwork using recycled materials so they can learn the benefits of reusing things. For more information on these types of art projects, check out this site.
