I've been volunteering with Green Up Our Schools for two years now and have seen first hand the impact that the program has on the elementary schools students that participate. Students get excited about recycling competitions, green teams, and coming up with other ways of protecting the planet. I hear stories every year of students going home, or on to middle school, and asking the question "why aren't we recycling", rather than asking "why should we recycle". The things they learn in the program stick with them.
Please take the time to learn more about this great program and donate!
