I have a friend and her and I are trying to unite a club of people in our area, Chicago. We want to make friendship bracelets and sell them in the name of animal rights. We plan to donate most of the money to animal shelters, so they can stop killing animals they can no longer support. IT is a dream we have ^^

Well, over in the small towns where we can't do much, I clean up the side of my roads and then the stuff people throw into creeks. I also try and scrub the graffiti off the bridges, but it gets tiresome after times. I don't like people who litter, especially when they throw bottles of half-drunken vodka into my yard where my dogs can easily access it.

The only thing I do is that me and my friends pick up some trash in our neighbourhood, and throw it in the trash can... I tried to tell the leaders of our subdivision onc ethat they should tell the residents to stop burning their trash and/or dead leaves but they said I should be the one to... sweatdrop sad

I do hours upon hours of volunteer work, cleaning highways, and such.
What I'm most proud of, though, is my work with the gifted program at my school. For the FLL Robotics Regionals and State Competitions, the theme this year was revolving around Global Warming. We planted trees around the school building for many reasons, including, but not limited to:
-reducing heating/cooling costs
-providing shade for students
-reducing soil erosion
-attempting to lessen our impact on the environment.
One tree provides a year's worth of oxygen for ten people. If each school in this country were to plant five trees, just think about how much clean oxygen would be produced! Also, we started a recycling program for aluminum, paper, and water-bottles, and placed compost bins outside, which is where a lot of leftover lunch scraps go. Our presentation was so amazing, it got us to state, even though the robot broke, and went haywire.
In previous years, the theme had been alternative energies, which I researched for quite a bit. Geothermal energy and wind energy interest me the most... Anyway, we went around to district schools, including my own, and gave a demonstration to all the students, so that they now know a lot more about how a wind turbine works, or exactly how much money they can save in the long run, by switching off lights during the daytime, or heating their house geothermally.
Personally, I can't wait to see what'll be accomplished during my high-school years. If I, just some random kid, can impact the world in the slightest, just imagine what others with more power will be able to do.

I go to storess while my sister or someone is shopping like Walmart or Target and I have a jar that I ask people to donate to the animal shelter and then I donate the money to them . [More money means they can take care of more animals] I tried to start a environment club at school where we would clean up the school grounds of litter and plant trees around the courtyard but then not many people joined so we had to stop.. :/

I obsessively collect garbage I see on the ground and dispose of it properly.
Its sad that I can literally spend an hour combing through my yard for cigarette butts, paper napkins, and all manner of trash people throw out their windows right next to my house sad Butt I do it! biggrin
I'm also a rabid recycler biggrin My mom thinks its crazy that I make sure all the paper and cans and glass bottles get into the recycle bin rather than the trash.

not much. live well, walk far, leaving few tracks (endeavor to shrink the carbon footprint). raise offspring to think, and not merely follow - they feel the same, fortunately. respect the world around me - do no harm. and, i found an alternative fuel - re-used nike.

I was, up until I left school for uni next year gonk part of our school's Ecoteam..we had just gotten our Echoschools bronze award. We're trying to make our school more energy and water efficient (modified plugs for the computer, so they only take as much power as they need, getting people to turn lights off, reducing the water used in a flush etc).
