Reducing Plastic Burden One Water Bottle at a Time

Funded Dec 14, 2021

First of all I want to thank you again for the very generous donation! Thanks to you, Donors Choose was able to match your donation and our project was funded within a week! My students are very appreciative as well and send many thanks.

Thanks to your donation, our students have started a movement through our school on the importance of reducing waste. They are now role models because they use their reusable water bottles that you funded, and our refill stations to get their water. This project has also helped to create a bigger impact within our school because my students have become advocates for other students at the school to also bring reusable water bottles instead of having the school continue to buy plastic water bottles.

Thanks to you, and the impact our students have had, our principal has expressed that he will invest in student water bottles for the rest of the students at our school. Our students feel empowered to make a change and it all started with "reducing plastic burden, one water bottle at a time!"”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Gomez
