SAS Pudong High School Roots and Shoots  =//**Our club's mission:**//=

(1) establishing effective student leadership so programs are led by and maintained by students; (2) establishing an exemplary recycling program in the SAS High School in which we recycle paper, ink-jet cartridges, plastic bottles, dead dry-cell batteries, tetra- paks, and organic waste; (3) traveling to other schools in Shanghai and teaching them how to set up similar recycling programs; (4) collaborating with the school administration to create a sustainable and "green" campus; (5) inspiring the involvement of SAS students and teachers to conserve resources and reduce pollution.
 * //To engage responsibly in the world's problems, and protect/advocate for local and global environments.//**
 * We will do this by:**

We have about 15 open spots for the trip. If more people sign up than there are available spots, then the following factors will be considered in our priority system (in no particular order) - Seniority (Grade), Duration in Club, Commitment to Club. - Hopefully, enough spots are available to satisfy demand!

**New Project ideas (add your ideas here!)**
 * **The Second Floor Garden:** Design and build an "Al Gore Nobel Peace Prize Garden" on Mr. Malone's classroom balcony - we could hold meetings there and it would serve as an inspiration for urban gardeners and composters.
 * **"Green Spaces":** Finding places to post green bulletin boards where we can share R&S messages, facts, strategies with the school (like a scary fact and then something you can do about it). We could also add these 'greenspaces' in Word magazine, ParentTalk and EdLine so we can recycle our messages to a wider audience!
 * **Eco-Audit:** SAS Pudong resource and energy audit - How much do we use? How much do we save? (with Mr. Knowles)
 * **Compost:** Composting workshop and ongoing composting (with cafeteria?)
 * **Organic Garden:** Vegetables and flowers planted and tended by SAS teachers/students (with MS Roots & Shoots?)
 * **Organic Farming:** visit a local organic farm and/or have a presentation from a local organic food company
 * **Improve Recycling Program:** Find someone at SAS who speaks Mandarin and Shanghainese who can research who can recycle ink jet cartridges and dead dry-cell batteries for us (if you have any ideas about who could help us, contact Mr. Gould. Consider recycling cartridges, batteries, plastic bottles, and glass.PR and Marketing
 * **Biodegradable cutlery @ SAS (Based on Becky Konowicz's proposal, Chapman University):** Chapman uses cutlery made of material that is plant-based, biodegradable, and recycled. We can use this type of cutlery at SAS to reduce plastic waste. For more information, please click here.
