Our ECAP team decided to focus in on pollution of plastic. We choose this project in hopes to help get the students excited about new plants in their classroom and to inform them about the affects of plastic on the earth. We worked with Glenside Elementary School to achieve our goals. We began by collecting empty bottles, cans, and other reusable goods. Once we sorted though and found what we thought would be best, we decorated them to make them more appealing.
We planted our flowers in the new pots.
Along with the service of actually making and planting the flowers, the Environmental Buds also conducted research about the negative affects pollution has on the planet and how we can reduce waste and live in a more environmental friendly way. This work was really important to our ECAP team because pollution it is a pressing issue in the world and it is so important to learn and spread awareness about it. Going into the classroom with children and talking to them was a great way to do this.
We enjoyed being able to go into all 5 classrooms at Glenside Elementary and teaching the children more about how to be environmentally friendly in a fun way! They really enjoyed and plants and were so thankful for them. It is very important to keep our youth informed and aware of growing issues such as pollution.
