Sustainability

The students will demonstrate the ability to solve a real world problem by identifying the proper force of action when it comes to protecting and sustaining our natural environment; which in this case is the ocean. The students will identify the importance of our oceans, and design a plan to utilize this finite resource in way that benefits the greater good of humanity. The students will create a working website, where all students in the school, (perhaps eventually the County) can participate on a student-wide level to help clean out the ocean and pick up trash. In this organized- student based website; the students will be able to log on, post the hours they picked up trash, who they were with, the day they went, what they found, and anything thing else relative they would like to add about the trip (like pictures, videos etc..). The plan is to help clean up the ocean and involve a Student Earth Caring Community.
