Hello, and welcome to the third blog article for my action project. I intend to continue the recycling project I started last year, which involved teaching elementary school students about the importance of recycling.Making recycling enjoyable and engaging by combining a presentation and an activity. This year, however, we intend to teach them about the environment and climate change, as well as recycling. So far, we have compiled a list of suitable schools to which we can deliver our presentation.We have successfully recruited additional persons who are interested in forming an environmental club at our school. This community helps us find other elementary schools that they can contact. However, some challenges are managing the club and keeping it active while trying to contact the schools as scon as possible. So, we can have as many schools as possible. My classmate (savannah) and I who are both working in this project are planning on meeting up […]
