Title: Planting Greener Tomorrow
Exhibit Abstract:
At the Kids’ Tech University Exhibit, T2H would like to focus on recycling and gardening techniques that can help make a brighter and more sustainable future for all. Prior to the event T2H members will prepare homemade recycled seed pots by using old newspapers. The seed pots are prepared before hand due to a long drying period. We will have an exhibit showing how the pots are made along with “ Going Green” educational flyers with the exact instructions. As a parting gift, our T2H members will assist participants in the project about recycling and sustainable gardening, by having them fill the premade recycled pots with organic potting soils and seeds. This will allow students to take home a gift that will keep giving for a long time to come. Our pots are fully biodegradable and after Spring comes can be planted out side - pot and all - for everyone to enjoy.
Club Information:
T2H (Trees to Hug) was start in Fall 2008 by Mrs. Melissa Addison and Mrs. Tiffany Stillwell, teachers at Richlands High School. Our members come from a variety of social and economic backgrounds that have banded together to promote conservation and sustainable living. The purpose of the club was to bring green ideas and practices into the school setting. Richlands High School now has a recycling program, participates in the science fair, sponsors school run activities, and promotes green living practices by being examples for the rest of the student body. During Earth Week we sponsor week long activities, including fundraisers, presentations, and school and town improvement projects. We work with the surrounding middle and elementary schools to teach younger students ways they can make a difference in their schools and homes by recycling, conserving water and electricity, and working together to make a better tomorrow. Our T2H members realize that small differences now can mean a better future for us all.
