good for you hon. But in our terribly busy world I think this may be the last thing on a teen mind. Maybe their are ways on the internet? I am not a teen, I am 29, but I am sooo busy with my kids and work and stuff that environmental stuff is last on my list, and I think is on many others too? 0% 0 Votes

Educate them on the severity of the issue if action is not taken. They may be dead in 50 yrs. 0% 0 Votes

Get a teacher involved. You need to get grants or at least scholl support to go out on ome environmental field trips. things like, wate testing with a watershed group, identifying invasive plant with Natural Biodiversity. For more ideas call your county conservation office and get in touch with leaders in those programs. they love to take students on such trips and a field trip, out of school is always popular! You would get more suport form your school if you can find some grant money to pay for the day. There are plenty of grants out there for students and teachers, just start looking. 0% 0 Votes

Having gone through the same period in my life when I was a teen...

It%26#039;s hard to get people of any age interested in something is it%26#039;s %26#039;popularity%26#039; level. People don%26#039;t see %26#039;work%26#039; as being popular and thus most avoid it because they don%26#039;t want to put forth the effort.

If you%26#039;re trying to start a club at school, talk to a counselor to see if special credits (science grade) can be given for extra credit work. If there%26#039;s a reward directly resulting from a person%26#039;s effort, then maybe you%26#039;ll get more participation.

I%26#039;m sure for this to go through, you%26#039;d have to have one of the teachers head the club and teach something in the club for it to take on a more of an official tone to it.

Good luck...Can I be an honorary member of your club? I%26#039;m from Portland, OR - the #2 Rated %26#039;Green%26#039; city in the world !!

One idea I can think that your club could do is have the members bring in recycle-able items to school for a %26#039;recycle-drive%26#039; (like a toy-drive for presents). The student who brings in the most weight in plastic/metal/paper could get a prize? 0% 0 Votes
