Environmental Club Brings Water Bottle Filling Stations to Guilford High School
Guilford High School (GHS) has three new water bottle filling stations thanks to a $3,600 Guilford Interact Youth Advisory Group grant awarded last spring to the GHS Environmental Club by the Guilford Foundation. The club is dedicated to making Guilford High School and the greater Guilford Community more environmentally friendly. The students will be selling water bottles displaying the message “Save the Earth” to encourage reuse versus plastic waste. The club also partnered with BYO Guilford this year, a group that encourages the use of reusable checkout bags, to collect T-shirts and turn them into tote bags.
The students would like to thank the Guilford Foundation and last year’s Environmental Club president, Charlotte Babbin, for making the new water bottle filling stations possible. The stations were installed by the Guilford Public Schools Facilities Department.
