234. Design a class for your school.
For the past semester, I have been taken a class called Environmental Science. Yes, we all know that environmental science entails. You learn about everything from rocks to the layers of the atmosphere. You learn about how things affect nature. Though we learn all these things we never really take action upon to save the environment. Yes, Woodstock does fund CARE trips which take us to do different things. We play with blind kids, we teach students from around Mussoorie, we help dogs, and we occasionally plant trees. We do a lot of social service, but where has saving the environment gone in all these CARE trips?
So to take this idea further, I would like to introduce the idea of the Tree-Huggers. I called it this because it would be a bit lame to call it Tree-Hugger 101. The Tree-Huggers sound a bit more engaging than 101, right? So basically this class entails a lot activity on the nature. We will help the environment by planting trees, picking up trash, visiting places like companies that cut down trees and factories. We will learn about different things. Everyone will be tested on certain concepts. It will NOT be like Environmental Science. As a project we will raise money for one semester and raise money to open a farm ourselves. This will be ensured to be a completely organic farm. The students will run the farm, will deliver the foods to the school, will suggest that the school cafeteria take on the food and so on. The students will be tested on how well they are able to plant things in the garden and will have to show a step by step process by explaining what will be done and how it affects different things in the ecosystem. We could go to different places and try and save animals which are being endangered.
I understand that this takes a lot of money and a lot of practice, but there will be environmentalists and different types of specialists who will come and teach the class.
Though far-fetched, I'm sure it could be possible.
