Ms. Lisa had exciting news about the upcoming iCAN Fridays (environmental Club - learning program)
Earth week is coming up and as everyone knows our Youth Council is directly engaged with environmental factors. Always talking, researching, sharing ideas and participating in nature. Ideas for this week. Taking about your family’s carbon footprint - How can you lower it. What is a carbon footprint The generally accepted definition of carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide, or greenhouse gases, produced as a result of our daily living. In other words, many things we do creates carbon dioxide, or greenhouse gases. If you add up the amount of emissions our daily activity produces you have an idea of the size of the impact we have on the environment.
Lastly, Talking about community issues: worried about people getting vaccinated. This was a huge talk. Our teens and young adults want to remind community to roll up their sleeves. Not just for themselves but everyone around them as well. Being vaccinated is a community effort!
The conversation last night made both Ms. Lisa Portelli and myself realize that our youth are 100% concerned about their future. They want security, to be employed, respected, included just like any other youths. We as community/society need to start early. It’s important that we have opportunities for our youth to grow and be successful - let’s plan ahead. Last on our agenda, games games and games. We played a fun Kahoot game of guess that emoji title - what do those little emojis mean? |
