Prospect Sierra's Top 10
Middle School Students – your Earth Day Celebration was incredible – from the opening ceremony to your amazing booths, your participation in the workshops, and your responses in the ending assembly. Here is the list of Prospect Sierra School's Top Ten Ways to Save the Earth, generated by elementary and middle school students. If we do all these things, we will help make an impact on improving our environment.
1. Buy local, organic produce from sustainable farms (for example – avoid apples from New Zealand)
2. Conserve water (take shorter showers, turn off water when brushing your teeth, fix leaky faucets, wash dishes in dishwasher with a full load)
3. Turn off the lights and electronics, unplug appliances and chargers when not in use
4. Walk or ride your bike
5. Conserve heat – put on a sweater rather than turning on the heat
6. Check for recyclable signs when you buy something and before you throw things away. Recycle paper, plastic, and glass.
7. Use recyclable bags or your own reusable bags for groceries. Take lunches in reusable containers
8. Reduce waste by composting (non-dairy) food scraps
9. Conserve paper – print on both sides of the paper and think carefully about when you need to print something.
10. Eat more plants and less meat.
