Students in the Environmental Science classes and Science club at Mifflin County High School worked together to change their school’s recycling policies. Students in Ecology classes began the process by conducting inventories about plastic and consumption habits in their daily lives.They voted and successfully advocated to their school administration to add recycling bins throughout the school and increase signage for proper recycling. They also led a station at a local EcoDay festival as well to communicate their policy change beyond their school.
This student-led policy change will leave a legacy of taking action to improve the watershed.
