My freinds and I want to make a enviromental group so i wanted to kno if someone can give me ideas?

Question

we want to make a enviromental group because we really want to help the enviroment(were only teenagers) it would be nice it you can give me some ideas on things to do or advice

Answer 1

The idea of the first poster was good - start a new school chapter of a non-profit. Greenpeace, Sierra Fund, etc. They will send you a package of start-up info and ideas of how to fundraise, etc.

One big thing you can do is planting trees. We did a tree-planting ceremony when I was in high school. We first had a fundraiser (basically a bake sale - nothing big) and with the few hundred dollars we raised, we bought a whole bunch of tree saplings.

Then, one day after school, we planted all the saplings around the school grounds. We then had our teacher sponsor (all clubs at high schools need teacher sponsors - so go around to your teachers to ask if they'll sponsor you) and the principal and a counsellor there and had the principal cut a ribbon.

We also invited the school paper. They took lots of photos of us planting as well us with the principal cutting the ribbon. They interviewed us and had a big article on the front page of the school paper. That sort of thing is great for raising awareness of the issue.

After that article, lots of other students wanted to join our group and it grew from there.

Good luck!

Answer 2

You could do a trash pick up, and make yourself seen to the community. Approach some buisnesses to sponser oyu.Start a recycling program at your school. ^_^

Answer 3

It might be easier to start or join a chapter of an established group, such as the Sierra Club.  They might be able to give you some literature and start-up money.
