Name: Earth Team, Redding Environmental Club (sponsor support & volunteering)
Location: EPA Student Center, Grant Ave, Redding, California, USA.
Website: www.earthteam.net; www.reddingworld.org

An environmental club is a great way to get energized about taking care of the

Earth and learning about some of the environmental issues.

Earth Team offers tips on how to start. First, make sure students are interested in forming such a club, and find a leader (teacher, parent who serves as an adult sponsor). Hold the club’s first meeting. Brainstorm the questions “Why are we here?” and “What do we want to accomplish?”The next, make a plan that clearly lists goals, dates and responsibilities.Earth Team suggests getting students outside for a river or beach cleanup,a tree planting day, or a field trip to a local wetland, zoo or nature reserve.Another popular idea is to hold an Environmental Awareness Day.
