Conserving
Life
Imagine a world where the air outside is toxic is
now a lush green forest has been turned into a desolate wasteland. Pollution
has already taken its toll on our planet devastating cities around the world,
for example Beijing, the air has gotten so bad as to pose a menace to the
population. This problem not only affects far off places but also affects
people right here in South Carolina volunteers picked up 4,080 lbs. of litter
by the Saluda River all in the course of one river sweep (Volunteers Pick up
4,080 Pounds of Litter, 1). Bringing the problem of pollution even closer to
home, this year’s beach sweep surprisingly collected 1645 pounds of trash in
Horry County alone (Beach Sweep, 3). The problem is something all students will
have to deal with eventually (Boss, 1).
The purpose of the plan is to inform and educate
people. I already participate the recycle club and am seeing if Mrs. Carters
Club is still active. We will attempt to accomplish this by an educational
commercial. Also, in the recycling club we will conduct regular campuses clean
ups and bring back the recycle fashion show. Showing people the ease of recycling
and the benefits of recycling will make it more alluring. The idea is to inform
and also help clean the environment, leading by example.
I have already contacted Mrs. Carter for more
organization that we could help. I am an active member of the ECHS Recycling
team and we have organized a second recycle fashion show. I have launched a campaign that would create
campus clean ups. I will be working with Cali, Maxx, Ethan, and Kenny. Together
we have already performed one trail clean up and are in the process of
producing a short video
The work we will be doing is going to provide an
educational experience for the community. This will educate the community about
the dangers and consequences of pollution. The video will also show the ease of
recycling that would encourage people to which care of the environment.
Hopefully we can encourage more people to visit the park once they see what they are working to save.
I will measure the outcome of my project by the
numbers of views that the video receives and the amount of trash we collect at the
trash pickup. The more views the video gets the more people who have at least
heard our message. If the number of bags of trash should begin to decrease this will
show that less people are littering. I will keep a record of all the work we
have done.
We will need various things in order to complete
this project. We will need transportation. This need is already taken care of
by meeting at one place and ride together to the location in one car. We
already have trash bags for picking up trash. The last thing we need is the
equipment to film the videos which was provided for up by an agreement made
with CCU
