Around South Carolina, schools are doing amazing projects and sustainability initiatives. With the help of Take Action SC, students are able to use their science classroom knowledge and apply it to their school and community. Our free classroom presentations are an excellent way to get students excited about sustainability initiatives at their school. The Student Ambassadors for Sustainability program is a great resource for help in planning and facilitating student projects. See how South Carolina schools are taking ‘Action for a cleaner tomorrow’.
