The goal of the Green Project is to increase recycling in order to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, and to preserve natural resources and energy. We want to help make our school and community environmentally friendly.

We plan to do this by coordinating with Darlington facilities to create shared recycling goals and to bring people together from outside the school and inside to educate them about the importance of recycling. We are going to start by setting up numerous recycling bins across campus for water bottles and  aluminum cans.

Another idea we have is to implement green teams at sporting events to bring our community together while making sure we are not leaving behind trash. Not only are we going to bring recycling back, but we also are focusing on fast fashion and emphasizing the importance of shopping sustainably for our environment. 

Senior Ventures is a year-long academic program built on a framework of leadership, innovation and community engagement. Through a proven self-guided exploratory process, seniors whose proposals are selected for this program work independently to develop a project that’s interdisciplinary in scope and is connective, performance-based, investigative, or entrepreneurial. Click here to learn more.
