After learning a lot about plastic pollution and climate change and even seeing the picture of baby elephant seals next to plastic our group decided to make a video to get our message across to our school. We have been learning about digital storytelling and felt empowered that our video, words and tips could help make a difference at Howe-Manning!

Inspired by the sustainability work National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions do, my way of making positive change on a local scale was to give our ignored and overgrown school garden a much needed refresh. I was particularly inspired by the locally sourced food on Lindblad ships, especially in the Galapagos and wanted to inspire my students in the same way. Working with our Howe-Manning elementary students and a local agricultural high school we replaced the rotted wood in our garden beds and planted lettuce seeds. I'm looking forward to having our first annual Howe-Manning Salad Day! 🥬

When we starting learning about plastic pollution and recycling, my mom and I thought going to a recycling facility would be a great class trip to actually see what happens when we recycle. We worked with Miss Klipfel to bring our class to the Waste Management recycling facility. When our class saw what people were doing at the recycling facility with all the trash everywhere, we thought about why do people use so much plastic. I thought why don't people use reusable items. People should be noticing more about the things they are doing that is bad for the environment. I felt empowered to work with my class and start the Howie Planet Protectors.

Many people waste plastic every day. This can harm sea animals, so I decided to create a flyer that promotes Starbucks' bring your own cup and hang it in our town library. This can save so many sea animals. You most likely think "Just one paper won't help" but you are wrong if everyone who sees it and shares it with their friends can know about it. And it will spread and so many animals will be saved just by one paper I made.

For our action plan, we made a slideshow to show what the Turkey Trot could do better to help the environment. What inspired us is that when we ran the race we saw so many plastic cups on the sidewalk that people used for this race, so we wanted a change. So we made a slideshow to tell my mom who organizes the race that she could use other kinds of cups that are not plastic and can be better for the environment.

We made posters to go around the school because we wanted to make a plan for the school to see the steps they could take. This poster shows a checklist that you can check off with things you can bring or do to help the planet. We hung this poster in the school and gave copies to go home.

As the leadership team for Howie's Planet Protectors we worked with our school principal to get everything approved. From hanging posters in the hallway, to having grade level assemblies, and even passing out pencils and badges we made sure to get everything approved. We felt empowered to meet with our principal and even email the other teachers to make a difference.
