What you can do
How to start or improve an environmental program at your school? Becoming the PTA Environmental Chairperson would give you the support of an organized group with other volunteers and a budget. However, if you don't want the commitment of being a PTA chairperson, there are many easy activities that can be organized by just one volunteer parent. Some of them can even be done easily all year long on a regular basis. Here are a few examples:
- Increase people environmental awareness by publishing a Fun Fact each week in the school newsletter.
- Introduce a special activity on:
Texas Recycles Day, on November 15th.
Arbor Day, in January in Houston or April in Texas and in many other States.
Earth Day, around April 20th.
