Student gathering recognizing Earth Day
Planting a literal life, a growing plant is advocated on Earth day. When people hold the soil and smell the air they think of the anniversary that celebrates Earth.
In honor of Earth day, PAHS students assembled together at the Pressed Coffee and Books ,123 Mahantongo street on Friday at four pm.
At the gathering Junior Samantha Woodford said “We painted rocks, drank coffee and mostly talked. So many more people showed than I would have thought. I’m very glad we planned the event.” Woodford organized flyers around the school so students can join.
It can be personal, especially for Woodford as she said “Earth day is personal to me. I grew up constantly outdoors or on a beach so I feel super close to the earth. It’s about being sustainable and sharing your knowledge. We only have one earth!”
While we think of Earth and what it supplies us, we also think of global warming. PAHS Senior , Margaret McDowell said, “I think it’s something that we could easily prevent. Still something we would be able to work towards to help fix”.
