Weekly Earth Challenge:
Starting this week, GHS students will be encouraged to take part in A Weekly Earth Challenge promoted by the Environmental Club. We aim to spread education and give simple ways to make a difference. Did you know.... It has been shown in surveys that many remain ignorant on the nature of the climate emergency. This discrepancy can be fixed by a push for an integration of a thorough education on the true complexity of the climate emergency, as well as the positive actions that we as students can take. This week's Earth Challenge is to attempt to make your shower 30% shorter so as to reduce the amount of water and heat energy you are consuming.
