Environmental Field Studies Group
By Gabrielle Wilson '17
"Make your Mark" and terracycle used markers, pens (no wooden pencils) by Nov.15th (drop-off box in Main Lobby) and provide clean drinking water to those in need!  We donate all program proceeds to Charity:Water.  Learn more about their global impact: http://www.charitywater.org/about/

Environmental Field Studies Group, EFSG, combined the talents of its members to write a script for and perform a video called "Bring on the Green" about how simple donations can provide people around the world with fresh drinking water.  We collect plastic cereal bag liners, granola bar wrappers that are shiny and silver on the inside, used pens, mechanical pencils, and markers.  For each item we collect and send to Terracycle, a 2 cent donation is made to the non-profit Charity: Water to provide people with fresh drinking water.  Last year, CCHS provided 19 people with an entire year of drinking water! 

Terracycle bins are set up around the school, where you can drop off these items (in front of the library, by the sustainability wall of the main hallway, in break-out space by the Rivers & Revolutions classroom, and in front of room 436).  There are also plastic containers on most 3rd and 4th-floor classrooms, for pencils and pens.  Please do not put food items themselves, liquids, or bottles, into these bins.  With your help, we can make a huge impact!  

The Bring on the Green video was directed by Issac Carlson and edited by Kathryn Schubert (both CCHS 2016). EFSG is advised by CCHS teachers Priscilla Guiney, Nora Murphy, and Peter Nichol.  Big thanks to CCTV for providing their studio and expertise. Without the help of Kester Krueger this film could not have been completed.
