Girl Scouts benefiting
the environment
On
Earth Day 2005 (April 22), Brownie Girl Scout
Troop #7140 (second year Brownies) started a paper-recycling
program at St. Clare of Assisi Catholic School.
The troop met with the principal to discuss the
details. Then, the troop purchased recycle bins
and decorated them with handmade signs (using
recycled cardboard of course!) A letter was written
and signed by each girl in the troop to the staff
at St. Clare to communicate the types of paper
acceptable for recycling. The troop monitors the
bins weekly. Paper is collected and transported
to appropriate paper recycling bins in the area.
The girls in the
photograph from left to right are Clarissa M.Hannah
M., Madelyn W., and Christina S.. Not pictured
are Michelle S., Juliette D., Julie S., and Jessica
C. |
