What conservation/green activities can my Junior High %26#039;Green Club%26#039; do besides recycling? I want to start a %26#039;green club%26#039; at the junior high I work at. Aside from encouraging recycling at school and home, what other activities can my students do?

Please answer with any viable idea. This is a low-income to middle-income school. THANK YOU! 60% 3 Votes 0% 0 Votes

you should get everyone in the club to plant trees, use public transportation, and maybe change the ordinary light bulbs to the CFL ones.
*And always remember to reduce reuse and recycle 20% 1 Vote

quit having you parets drive you to school and the mall, well at least carpool to the maximum number of people. Raise some money for light switches that turn off if no ones in the room. 0% 0 Votes

Hi Melinda,

Clap clap clap! that%26#039;s me cheering you by having such a gentle and generous attitude about the enviroment.

I have a list that could be of help and come up with different ideas and encourage others, ready, take note:

%26quot;Wash clothes in cold water.
Hot water is unnecessary for most clothes. When needed, use warm water.
Fill your toilet tank.
Put a plastic bottle or two, filled with water and rocks, in your tank to reduce the amount of water used in each flush.
Clean your filters.
Clean the filters of your air-conditioners once a month to improve energy efficiency. While you’re at it, change your car’s filters as recommended in your manual.
Get a low-flow shower head.
Stop at the hardware store on your way home, and get a low-flow shower head. Takes a few minutes to install, and it’ll save gallons of water a day.
Lower your thermostats.
If you use heating, get by with less heat and wear warmer clothes. If you use air-conditioning, get by with less cooling and wear cooler clothes.
If it’s a nice sunny day, hanging clothes only takes a few minutes, and you’re using solar power instead of electricity to do the job. It also makes your clothes last longer.
Turn down your water heater.
Most people have their water heater’s thermostat turned up too high, wasting energy. Turn it down to 130 degrees, saving energy but still hot enough to kill bacteria.
Use CFC light bulbs.
If your light bulb burns out, replace it with a Compact Flourescent bulb (those spiral-looking ones). They’re more expensive, but if you just replace them one at a time, it doesn’t cost much, and the energy savings is great. And as they last longer, over the long run, you’ll save money.
Wash and dry only full loads of laundry and dishes.
Follow your community%26#039;s water use restrictions or guidelines.
Install a low-flow shower head.
If you are not looking to change your car just yet there are a number of ways you can be more environmentally friendly and help you save money by conserving fuel.
Lighten your car to reduce weight by not carrying unnecessary items.
Cut your speed and stick to the speed limits
Drive smoothly avoiding heavy accelerating and braking.
When stationary for a long time, switch off the engine.
Closing windows will make the car more efficient by being more aerodynamic. Remove roof bars when not is use also helps.
Make sure your tyres are properly inflated as under inflated tyres cause more resistance.
Where possible, walk, cycle or even use public transport.
If possible lift share to reduce the number of cars on the road.
Try mass transit.
Millions of people use it, and it saves tons of fuel. If you don’t already, give it a try.
Unload your car.
Remove excess weight from your car (such as stuff that might be in the trunk) to reduce the amount of fuel you use.
Walk instead of drive.
Water grass early in the morning.
Reduces the amount of water you need to keep your grass looking fabulous.
Plant shade trees near your house.
It’ll take awhile before they can make a difference, but shade trees greatly reduce the need to cool a home. %26quot;

...and the list keeps going on, you should be able to add more ideas, just turn around and observe what%26#039;s waiting to be done. Good Luck with your project. Taken from:
