In difficult times like these, it’s so important to keep focused on the things that are important to us – our families, our community and our environment. Because, as one of our student Eco-Leaders told us recently…
“The world is still going on even with this shelter in place put into our lives. I think we still need to keep going with our efforts for the environment just because once this is over, the environment is still here and we still need to take care of it. We still need to look after it.”
