Mission Statement
About us
|
It is our second year being part of Girls Build and we continue to work towards the same goal. Girls who want to ensure our school is more conscious about recycling and sustainability. It is important that we properly dispose of everything that is recyclable and we educate our peers about ways to be less harmful to the environment. This project is needed because our school does not have recycling bins around campus to properly dispose of aluminum cans and plastic bottles. |
A good way of expanding beyond the walls of our school is by presenting about the issue and educating the community through parent workshops and meetings. Inviting parents to also be part of the challenge would help the community be more informed about issues in the environment. In the long run, it would be beneficial to connect with the city about placing more recycling bins around the city and in the parks of Los Angeles. We are part of an LAUSD school and we would eventually want to inquire with LAUSD to have recycling companies come and pick up recyclables on campus because as of now all disposed items go to the same trash.
Developing our community
|
The team plans on solving the issue of disposing of recyclable items inappropriately by educating students, staff, and other community members about the importance of recycling and how that can help the earth in the long run. Besides informing and educating our community, we plan on placing more recycling bins around campus specifically for aluminum and plastics since they are the most commonly used at our school. This aligns with our impact area of civic engagement because we are advocating for our community to live a more sustainable lifestyle to positively help our environment and those living in it.
