Our president, Grace Hignight, found a program for recycling on a worldwide basis. The program’s name is Ten
On Tuesday. The program is designed to help reduce plastic waste by collecting ten pieces of trash every
Tuesday to reduce worldwide litter. The program can be found at ReverseLitter.com. If you go to the site you will
be able to sign up individual people or a school. We are subscribed as Stone Middle School Northlamar Campus.
North Lamar High School
 We contacted Sanitation Solutions, & Jason Stephens gave the high school 6 bins to borrow for recycling
purposes. We gave two of these bins to the DAEP location.
 The NLHS Green Club members will till and plant three gardens (herb, vegetable, & fruit) behind the DAEP
building.
 The Green Club is looking at ways to recycle plastic and plan to speak with Becky Semple (Chamber of
Commerce) and other community members who want to form a committee on recycling in Paris and the
surrounding cities of Lamar County.
 In March, the high school will be collecting plastic bags for the downtown food pantry and will also be sending
volunteers to work at the food pantry.
 The NLHS Green Club has partnered with the Zone 32 organization to do some community service and
outreach. For example, the two clubs have now partnered with Seeds of Hope and their Community Garden
Project.

The NLHS Green Club has plans to work with the high school art dept. in creating some art with the plastic
bottles that have been collected.
