Last fall Team Marine from Santa Monica High School was honored by The Climate Community with their Climate Community Citizen of the Week Award.
Since then they have been going full force raising awareness about global marine debris, energy solutions to our climate crisis by attending lectures, environmental film screenings, teaching in local middle schools, hosting environmental assemblies at their own school, and so much more.
Pictured above last Friday after turning in their QuickSCience Challenge Project, a competitive annual contest to improve the understanding of science in grades K-12 by using students love of the ocean to make science more approachable.
They started preparing for this last summer so it is hard to say just how many hours were put into their efforts. I know that many weekends, long hours after school and a few sleepless nights were involved. Good job guys! The judging is in March. If they win, they will get a one week trip to Catalina Island to stay at the USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies. We’ll let you know the results.
Please help Team Marine get 1,000 signatures on their online petition to ban single use plastic bags in Santa Monica CA. You don’t have to live in Southern California to sign!
