green wish 2

My second green wish is to have the students and teachers in the building to bring all dead batteries to school so we can get them together for recycling.

With the batteries being recycled the acid does not get disposed of into water or ground. The metals being used in it can be recycled and used in other batteries or objects.

Equinox

The equinox happens twice a year. This means everyone on the planet gets exactly 12 hours of daytime and 12 hours of night time. This happens in spring and in fall. The earths tilt during the equinox is neglegable because the equator is directly facing the sun.

People picked up cigarrette butts to help protect the environment. Doing so removed the toxins from the environment. This made it safer for wild life to live without eating or consuming the toxic butts. They removed over 40 pounds of cigarette butts. This means the number 1 form of litter in the U.S. was removed from this comunity.

Another group of students helped stop graffitti. They did this by identifying the areas where it happens and educating the people there. They made an interactive game and brochure that helped their cause and helped decrease the amount of graffiti in the community. The students also educated other students why they shouldn't tag and it also helped reduce the amount of grafitit in the community.

Everyone who lives in a one mile radius of the school should walk to school.
