April 22 marks the 47th anniversary of the modern environmental movement. The main goal of Earth Week is to educate others on how to be eco-friendly and how to carry on certain tasks in order to protect the planet that we live in. West High’s Environmental Club would like everyone to help them celebrate this week by engaging in the following goals for the next five days starting Monday.
Make these changes a part of your daily habits. If each one of us makes at least one change, the whole planet will feel the impact, no matter how small or big the change may be. Happy Earth Week.
