Students who join the Ecology Club show an interest in preserving the environment. Through their actions at school, at home, and in their community, they take small steps towards conservation and preservation of resources. They are committed to protecting the Earth by promising to reduce, reuse, and recycle. As stewards of the environment, club members help to increase awareness and attempt to reduce the school's carbon footprint. One small change can make a huge difference.
