Head-Royce School Eco Challenge

I have not heard back from many people (because I don't really have social media). The statistics about just how much we could help the world's climate by educating women is amazing. After hearing a ted talk about the potential benefit of that, I learned that educating woman and girls could have the same worldwide impact as recycling...

The planet would greatly benefit from circular waste cycles if they were implemented. With cradle to cradle cycles, less fossil fuels would be spent shipping trash and recycled waste across the world. Food could be composted and end up back in the soils of communities. Developing countries with little infrastructure would not be overwhelmed by...

I am so sad eco challenge is ending!!

A city that is more walkable has numerous benefits. It allows higher accessibility for people who may not be able to drive or afford a car. Highly walkable cities often lead to thriving small businesses, as well as healthier people with reduced disease...

As I go on walks, I notice pollinators everywhere. Honey and Bumble bees buzz. When you walk around on sunny days where I live, it is easy to forget that in the US, beekeepers have lost  around 30% of their colonies every year since 2006. And many types of pollinators are disappearing. Buy organic!

I created an email for Ms. Felt to send out to middle-schoolers. It listed things you could do for Earth Day, including make an activism sign or make your own natural cleaning product. On Friday the 24, I organized a silence strike for the climate. Not many people joined, and my efforts weren't the greatest, but I think it would have been...

Americans and people in general waste massive amounts of food every year. Precious resources are spent on food which ends up down the drain. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. This money could be spent on numerous other things. For example, you could donate money to organizations helping people around...

I have only vaguely heard of biomass as an energy source before I took part in this challenge. Biomass technology has a wide range of uses and effects. Using biomass can sometimes have very positive effects if the technology is managed carefully. All of biomass energy is derived from the sun. The most common biomass is sourced from trash, wood,...

Just being outside and around nature is proven to calm you down and promote emotional well being. Gardening and farming often can involve some physical work, which is good for the human body. This can be very beneficiary, especially in this day and age when many people lack enough physical stimulation and a meaningful connection to the food...

We need more Head-Royce students to join this Eco challenge!
