CHHS wins green challenge

Posted on May 18, 2011 by Staff

Chapel Hill High School has been named one of five winners of the Green Your School Challenge, which encourages teens to use technology to generate awareness and have a positive impact on the environment.

Sponsored by Hewlett-Packard and DoSomething.org, more than 2,500 schools led eco-friendly projects. Chapel Hill High students used Facebook to ignite discussions around climate change; hosted Earth Week events such as “Recycling Spies Day,” which rewarded students who were seen recycling; and constructed a 12-by-12-foot cube representing the amount of carbon dioxide saved by recycling a week’s worth of newspapers.

The students will receive $1,000 grants for the programs and HP Pavilion dm1 notebooks.
