Dear Ms. Carroll

April 9, 2009


Dear Ms. Carroll,

I chose this project because I want to become an Environmental Scientist and study global warming. Global warming is cause by pollutants that create holes in the ozone layer which increases the high levels of UV waves impacting Earth. During school sometimes twice a week, I go over to Public Works and the Aquarium. I help out with the recycling of many goods such as batteries, household hazardous materials, and tires and also learned about ocean pollution. I get to watch how everything is processed and recycled during my hour or two of volunteering. My mentor and I meet up for about a half hour to an hour to review things that happened in the past week. At the end of my exploring I will make an hour long presentation to my fellow class mates, teachers, and or board of education.

At the presentation it will be a lot of visuals such as, the things you can recycle and the proper tools to use to recycle. I also will have power points showing the destruction that has happened throughout the world due to global warming. I basically just want to use my time to make my audience aware of the crisis we are facing right now. I also will be presenting my product. My product is what I am making to sum up everything I did. What I am making is a recycled trash sculpture. The sculpture is going to be made out of cans, aluminum, paper, and every day things. When I complete it I would like to plant it here at Lindenwold High school. I am not sure where I would like to put it yet in the school but, I do know I want it to be displayed outside for everyone to see. I also, want the Environmental club to add something new to it each year to make it better. I thought having it here at school it could be used as a learning tool for all students and the community. It will also make everyone aware of there surrounding and think about our environment.

Sincerely,
