Kirkwood High School 2017-18 Green Schools Quest

March 11, 2018

The overarching problem for the class project is:
How can we engineer processes to reduce waste and repurpose materials for the purpose of growing food?

There is not much of a push for sustainability at KHS at all. Even our recycling program is weak. Students want to reduce waste at the school or repurpose waste they are seeing. In an effort to educate and involve the community, students want to do something to benefit others and so the focus of their repurposed materials will be community gardening and creating an outdoor learning center at some property the district owns.

Intended impact of project

Reduced environmental impact
Increased environmental & sustainability literacy
