NARRAGANSETT â Local students are organizing a community-driven, tree planting initiative in order to offset paper usage at Narragansett High School (NHS). The event, taking place on May 1, is a collaboration between students and the nonprofit organization Tree-Plenish.
âI think that it is important that our schoolâs paper consumption is replenished so that our school can be more environmentally conscious and efficient,â said Julia Highcove, an NHS Senior and member of the schoolâs eco club. âSince trees are such a crucial part of our ecosystem, it is important that we replace those that are cut down for man-made products like paper. By doing so we are working to keep the earth both beautiful and healthy.â
