Bay Area high school students are taking leadership roles in addressing climate change and cultivating a better future, thanks to a one-of-a-kind program in California.
Planting the seeds of change often begins with a good idea. At Terra Nova High School in Pacifica , that idea is beginning to sprout in a previously unused plot of land behind the campus where rows of garlic, carrots, peas, tomatoes, lettuce and fresh herbs are growing.The new vegetable garden, along with a recycling project, is thanks to three Terra Nova students: senior Dane Potter, junior Anna Zavodnik, and sophomore Ava Litz.
'I was, like, whoa, that sounds really cool.' said Litz. 'I didn't know there were opportunities for people my age to take such a big step and make a community impact.'At Terra Nova, the new garden will provide fresh vegetables to the school's cafeteria. At the same time, by cultivating a healthy soil the students aim to trap climate-warming carbon dioxide in the ground.
