Bountiful Elementary School is going green. Students brainstormed 10 ways to improve the environment one person at a time, including conserving electricity, water and paper, reusing plastic bottles, and packing their lunches in a box instead of using a paper bag, and planting trees. When each student completes eight of the 10 items, they will receive a Going Green bookmark embedded with seeds for an herb garden.
