When Laura Wood's senior year began, she was expecting to talk to the usual handful of members in the Environmental Club of Scarborough.1, she found herself standing in front of 60 of her peers.
The year before Wood took over as 2, the new club was still trying to establish itself. As the first meeting 3, she worked hard to advertise that the club still existed and was looking for 4 members. Her campaign worked. Sixty 5 showed up to hear what Wood would say about helping to improve the local environment.
"It was 6," said Wood. "I really wasn't 7 60 kids, you know, because last year there were only 10. We want to help purchase our school the first 8 minibus. "
Under Wood's direction, the club suddenly started to grow 9. Later, it opened the green bus bank account.
With the club, Wood also collected cans and paper both to raise more money and to help the school reduce 10. This wasn't always an easy job. Wood didn't just pick up 11; she sorted the useful waste out, sometimes after it had been 12 thrown away. "We'd be a little 13 most of the time in the afternoons," said Wood.
By the end of the year they had been 14 about $60 a week by saving the cans and bottles.
This is what Wood usually goes about starting change: quietly but effectively. "She's a 15 kid," said Principal Andrew Dolloff. "She just doesn't do flashy (招摇的) things to get noticed."
