Earth Day's Hands-On Activities Raises Awareness on Climate Issues By: Marlene Arroyo

On April 20th on the green, M-A's AP Environmental Science students hosted an event to teach our community about the environment and ways students can help reduce harm to the planet.

Junior Lauren Van Stralen said, "We really just hoped to bring awareness to issues and to celebrate Earth day. We noticed people didn't know a lot of information about specific sections of the environment."

Junior Gigi Edwards added, "We hoped people would just think a little more about these things like their food, we know the environment has a lot of problems that [students] can improve."

Participating student AJ Riviello said, "I learned about how to sort different kinds of trash."
