Did you know that if you stacked 850,000 sheets of paper, the stack would be taller than the Statue of Liberty? The passionate students of the Ecology and Wildlife Club at Whitney High School know this quirky piece of information because that’s exactly how much paper their school used during the 2018-19 school year! They’ve decided to take action to replenish the natural resources the school consumed and fight global warming at the same time.
As a service to the Cerritos community, the Whitney’s Ecology and Wildlife Club is partnering with the non-profits,Tree-Plenish and Grades of Green to host an online tree sale. Trees are critical for balancing the earth’s temperature because they absorb the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and can store it safely in their roots, branches, and trunks for decades.
