Environment Club meets every other Thursday in an effort to make the school an eco-friendly campus campus aimed at raising awareness of the importance of the environment.

“We are trying to make the biggest impact, and we thought this would be a good way to impact all parts of the school,” sponsor Cheryl Pitt said. “We [are trying to] set an example for other schools that this is important and doable.”

To become an eco-friendly campus Environment Club must undergo the establishment of a committee, an audit, obtaining recommendations to become more eco-friendly  and implementing as many of the recommendations as the budget can handle, including better pest control and indoor air quality;  all of these will take at least one full semester.

“We need to complete the audit, fix the issues found, educate the school and a few other steps,” vice president Jordan Pitt said. “It could be positive [for the student body], but most probably won’t know we’re doing the audit.”

Although Environment Club is only campus wide, the club urges those beyond the campus to help with the auditing process.

“We need to include community members, parents, administrators and other teachers along with the student body as a whole,” Cheryl Pitt said.
