Our purpose is to...promote and work on grassroots issues that will ensure a livable climate for our generation and future generations. We are a group of Brookline High School students (approximately 15-25 students in grades 9-12) who meet weekly to plan and execute our goals. Our goals sometimes change over the academic year depending on the pressing environmental issues and students’ interests. However, our work in composting has been a multi year effort that began in the spring of 2017. At our weekly meetings we break into sub-groups to work on the current issues. For example, this semester the sub-groups are: composting and legislative activities to further the Green New Deal. We frequently work on educating and recruiting other students. In February 2019 we planned and organized three consecutive assemblies for the student body: part one focused on local environmental initiatives of Environmental Action Club and Mothers Out Front, particularly the composting program; part two addressed state environmental legislative initiatives; and part three involved the national and international environmental challenges. Also, after many meetings and presentations, we convinced Brookline's Select Board to consider a Green New Deal resolution and it passed! Now, we're attending a conference to teach other area students how we did it. We are committed to learning and taking action.
