I've always wanted to help our planet, but never really knew the best ways to do that. Doing this project, trying to help a whole business be more environmentally sustainable has taught me a lot about what I can do to conserve the nature my family loves so much. And, I got to know the Boys and Girls Club! An amazing experience with amazing people. ~ Lillian, HS Student
