Brightening Up Meridian: An inside look on the Enviornmental Club

members also water and pot plants around the hallways. To keep the plants fresh and healthy, the club always checks for any bugs that could potentially affect the plant’s growth.

Despite how much the group has already accomplished, they still have a lot more unique initiatives planned for the end of the year.

“We have many upcoming projects for the Environmental Club, but the one I am most excited about is our Earth Day extravaganza,” Dickson said. “On Earth Day, we celebrate the Earth and plan a bunch of environmentally-friendly activities and projects for our community and students to participate in.”

Additionally, the group has thought about building ant farms, bee hotels, and even possibly obtaining chickens. Dickson mentioned that the school may have “a native terrarium where the club will keep a bunch of amphibians like frogs and toads” in the near future.

“I am very proud of how many students have joined the club this year, which made it possible to get the vivarium up and running to its full potential. Students should join this club because it is an easy and great way to make Meridian a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly school,” Dickson concluded.
