Adopt-A-Park

Community beautification is a vital aspect of community development. Many urban students live in residential settings that do not have the luxury of backyard space. Neighborhood parks provide space for recreation activities and add value to the community when properly maintained. This project encourages proper maintenance of community property and neighborhood parks. In order to sustain the presence and quality of human life, humans and communities must understand their dependence on earth resources and environments, realize how they influence earth systems, appreciate earth's carrying capacity, manage and conserve non-renewable resources and environments, develop alternate sources of energy and materials needed for human sustenance, and invent new technologies. This project can be part of Environmental Science or Earth Science course. Units within these courses are Environmental Cycles and Ecosystems, Earth Resources (Renewable vs. Non-Renewable (Sustainability), and Science & Humanity.
