The Problem
Our Roots & Shoots project aims to raise awareness about littering in our community and its harmful effects on our shared environment, particularly our school and community garden. Litter not only diminishes the beauty of our outdoor spaces but also poses a risk to local wildlife, soil health, and the overall ecosystem. Through this project, we hope to inspire our school community and neighbors to take action to protect and respect the environment we all share.
Our Plan
To address this issue, our group of young environmental advocates will design and create engaging and educational signage to be displayed around the fence of our school and community garden. These signs will highlight the importance of keeping the area clean, the impact of litter on plants and animals, and ways to contribute to a healthier environment. The students will use art, writing, and research to develop meaningful messages that encourage responsibility and stewardship among community members. Additionally, the signs will serve as a lasting reminder of the importance of caring for our shared spaces.
