The plan includes 58 recommendations ranging from reducing the system's plastic use to adding more environmental lessons to the system's curriculum.\n
The plan started developing last year after students pushed the board of education to prioritize climate action initiatives. In March 2021, the board passed a resolution that included pledges to run the school system on 100 percent clean-sourced energy by 2030, and contribute zero landfill waste by 2040.As the board passed that resolution, it also created the work group that was tasked with crafting the plan presented Thursday.
“If we don’t act, [my children’s] generation’s education will suffer more if we have to spend more and more on volatile energy prices and rebuilding after floods instead of on education,” Jakuta said. “But you are making a difference.”“I’ll be 14 when I finish middle school. By then, I want to see reduced amounts of plastic used every year,” said Ezra Thomas, a seventh-grader at Kenmoor Middle School. He added the plan would encourage students instead to recycle.
