Today, we launch our Bright Green Giving Season! From now until the end of the year, EcoRise is celebrating and sharing all of the wonderful things we accomplished together in 2017. Today’s story highlights the students at Brooke Elementary who think bright green.

Earlier this year, while completing a Public Spaces Eco-Audit at their school, students learned about the importance of bees in our food system. They applied for and received $961 in grant funds from EcoRise to purchase beekeeping suits to study the busy bees at their school.

“The bee population is dropping because of
the loss of habitat and the loss of food. Our project title is
called the ‘Buzz at Brooke’ and it’s about honeybee education.”

—Carina V., Brooke Elementary Student
