G-enerate Compost: Fowler High School is not currently composting - however, stay tuned!

R-educe, R-ecycle, R-euse: Recycling is practiced in every classroom on the Fowler High school campus. They are looking to adapt a 2 bin system, whereas they will have 2 separate blue bins, in each room, for the recycling of both paper and co-mingled plastic/glass/metal, separately.  Student participation in the recycling collection and quantification process is in the works at Fowler, via the student council. Recycling advisories are posted in the hallways throughout the school.

E-ducate: Flyers line the hallways and classrooms reminding students, faculty, staff and parents to use their blue bins and recycle. The student council is also looking into ways in which they may impact and influence the practice of their surrounding community through charitable outreach.  One idea was a widespread community trash pickup day.

E-valuate the impact of everyday activities: Students involved in student council have taken on the Go Green Initiative project at Fowler High. They plan to fully implement the program next school year, beginning in September 2006. As the Green team is forming at Fowler High students are making strides toward evaluating the impact of their and their school's everyday
activities, and devising ways to walk a little more softly on the Earth.

Nationalize the principals of responsible paper consumption: stay tuned!

Keep Up the Good Work!
