Members of the Commack Middle School Nature Explorers and Earth Protectors Club put their eco-enthusiasm to work, sponsoring a school-wide plastic bag collection. They collected (and counted) 1,873 plastic bags, which will now be recycled, and not wind up in a landfill or as litter.
Club members are passionate about preserving our environment and want to act as caregivers of our planet. “Through recycling, these bags will have a chance to be made into something new,” said club advisor, Debra Lindquist. The club continues to implement activities that adhere to the positive values that make the world a better place for themselves and the community.”
