Kevin Randall,a biology teacher at Grandville High School,runs the environmental club at the high school,which has around 2,000 students.The club is known as the GHS Green Team,and it aims to raise awareness among students.It also works on projects to reduce the environmental footprint of the building itself.
One of the club's recent projects focused on reducing waste in the school cafeteria.Randall said their cafeteria supervisor told them that the school went through 54,000 plastic forks every year.The club applied for a financial help,built recycling centers for the cafeteria,and purchased metal silverware.
And now every student uses a durable metal for kora spoon instead of disposables (一次性用品) , "and that's just one way we're trying to capture the low-hanging fruit,if you will," Randall said.
The efforts of Randall and his students have earned Grandville High School the Michigan Green School certification from the state.In addition to their work reducing waste in the cafeteria,the GHS Green Team has also built a garden with flowers and vegetables on campus,and leads cleanups on site and out in the community.Over the years,Randall and his students have also been working on raising money to install solar panels (太陽能板) on the roof of the high school.
Randall said he was motivated to take the lead on environmental issues for his school because he wanted his students to have someone to turn to in the building who understands what's at stake (利害攸關(guān)) when it comes to climate change.
"And I also felt like I needed to do more in my life for my own two children at home," Randall added, "They need to know that their dad is working as hard a she can to reduce the effects of climate change,and to spread the word,and to make sure that other students out there are leaning about this just the way they are at home."
