Party for the Planet Stand

On May 15, we ran a stand at Party for the Planet, a social event at our school. We had three quizzes meant to raise awareness for the work of Roots and Shoots and the environment in general.

One was on beneficial and harmful bugs in
the garden because we did a lot of gardening work in Roots and Shoots class. We also included how to attract or deal with these bugs without harming the environment.

The second quiz was a general environment quiz. It had questions about litter, pollution, and energy use. We had a lot of stunned reactions from visitors because some of the facts were very surprising.








The final quiz was on water usage. We asked visitors how much water they thought was used in usual activities such as washing hands or taking showers. This again had many reactions when the visitors saw how much water they were using at home.

We think this stand really had an impact by showing people the damage people can do in their daily lives and what they can do to fix this. In addition, this stand was a really fun activity and

hope we have inspired other people to do similar things in the future!
