To celebrate reaching 1000 projects we had a school wide Environmental Day. We started off by looking at kids our age that have made a big difference for the environment. Then we presented our banner to the school. Classes came down for 1/2 an hour to play a recycling obstacle course game and to play a tag game showing how pollution can spread and effect animals.
