Situation 1: The "Green School" Project
In a small town, the grade 7 students of Compassion National High School are enthusiastic
about making a positive impact on their community through sustainable development.
Inspired by their environmental science lessons, they decide to launch the "Green School"
project.

The students begin by conducting an awareness campaign within the school. The students
initiate a series of eco-friendly practices within the school. To expand their impact beyond
the school walls, the grade 7 students engage with the local community. The students
decide to create a vegetable garden on the school grounds.

By the end of the school year, the "Green School" project has not only transformed
Compassion National High School into a model of sustainability but has also inspired other
schools in the region to embark on similar journeys toward a more environmentally
conscious future.

As part of the challenge, the students propose ideas ranging from setting up a paper
recycling station to creating a school garden for composting organic waste. They present
their ideas to the class, and together, they vote on the top three initiatives to implement
throughout the semester.

Excitement builds as the students work collaboratively to put their chosen projects into
