Have fun learning how to repurpose at Leaders of the Next Generation's "Green Guardians" event at the Greenwich Audubon!
Leaders of the Next Generation is committed to environmental awareness and providing access to education for youth. Through community programs, advocacy, and youth involvement, LNG aims to empower the leaders of tomorrow to ensure a sustainable future. One of the most threatening factors to climate change is pollution – damaging our environment and its species. Teaching kids the dangers of climate change is vital to a hopeful future. This event will focus on the toll plastic has taken on birds. One way plastic impacts these species is that it can strangle them. In addition to this, another factor that impacts climate change as well as birds is oil spills. These cause death and famine among our bird and aquatic species. By aligning our goal with that of the Greenwich Audubon, our primary mission is to educate and inform younger generations of the challenges our environment and ecosystems are facing. LNG is holding their “Green Guardians” event at the Greenwich Audubon’s facility.
The Idea for the Day: The Kids are ‘scientists’ in the year 3,000. In order for humans and other species to continue living on earth the new generation needs to stop polluting and start reusing recycling. These ‘scientists’ have been given the task by the president of the US to look for ways to stop pollution and more efficient ways of reusing recycling to save the world, after traveling across the world (each station) to discover way to accomplish this goal. At the end, these 'scientist' will be given materials and whichever team creates the best reused object/device wins and gets a special prize (this is only for kids who want to stay), more details about the competition will be learned that day. Prizes will be handed out!
We will have stations with different fun activities and games and kids will be able to take some new ideas and projects home!
LNG is a youth-led non-profit organization focused on access to education and environmental awareness. Led by Sameera Madan and Jacklyn Pizzella, they have established two main programs: free tutoring and Green Guardians. Sameera and Jacklyn are currently juniors at Greenwich High School.
