SC Green Steps Schools 
2019-2020 projects

Conserve: Energy

Students create and display "Lights Off" signs and memes to be used as reminders to turn off lights in classrooms and offices when not in use to teach awareness of energy consumption.  Students will also conduct bi-monthly "audits' to determine which lights are left on in rooms not in use.  The data from these audits will be depicted in a graph and displayed in the areas of the school where the "Lights Off" signs/memes are displayed.

Protect: Litter Prevention

Students pick up litter around campus and create and post signs to discourage littering.  The students will focus on a different area of the school each week to collect litter from.  The weight of the litter picked up and the location of the pickup will be written on posters and signs throughout the school to spread awareness of the most heavily littered areas.
