My Project
This project is designed to create goodie bags to give to members of the school community to build support for climate action initiatives. The project will both build community and a positive sense of well being for students who may be feeling climate anxiety and questioning how they can take action, while achieving and incentivizing Zero Waste practices.
We want to encourage more proper waste sorting and Zero Waste habits in the cafeteria and will give goodie bags with candy and recycled pencil to community members caught recycling properly.
We'll use the paint and paintbrushes to create large colorful banners that promote climate optimism and action (which is an antidote to climate anxiety). The first NYCPS climate action day is November 19 and the theme is Waste. However, there are three more days, and we could use the goodie bags for those events later in the year too. The banners will be used as well for three other climate action days scheduled for the rest of the year.
The 750 students at our Secondary School and our Green Team are really concerned about environmental issues and climate change. The Green Team came up with this idea of goodie bags and banners to motivate positive reinforcement of the behaviors we want to cultivate all year long which provide solutions and build a culture of sustainability.
