Willamette High School

Willamette High is just getting started with specific efforts towards climate action and climate justice.  We do have a school-wide recycling program and a school garden, and as part of the Bethel School District, we participate in cafeteria composting through the Love Food, Not Waste program run by the City of Eugene.

• Community action and civic engagement.
• Being involved with legislative actions.
• Having student representatives on a “youth climate council” in your city and/or county.
• Becoming certified as an Oregon Green School (or upgrading to the next level).
• Enhance your waste reduction practices (e.g. composting, paper use, recycling, beverage containers, reusable utensils in the cafeteria).
• Training opportunities for Our Future leaders (e.g. leadership skills, fundraising, etc.).
• Training opportunities for other students at your school (e.g. climate science, how to get involved in environmental/social justice issues).
• Increase club membership (including recruiting Freshman/Sophomores into your club/team).
• Art projects that will raise the awareness of climate change, or the importance or sustainability/social justice.
• Supporting the Our Children’s Trust trial ( https://www.ourchildrenstrust.org/juliana-v-us ).
• Organizing opportunities for outdoor activities (biking, hiking, rafting, etc.)
