| Save What's Left
Overview |
 |
This organization
will give young people grades K – College and beyond,
a chance to take advantage of the Governmental and Community
service opportunities available to them. The members
of this group, through volunteering their time and efforts,
will take an active part in safeguarding our environment
through inter-school and community projects such as tree
planting, beach, canal, lake or stream clean-ups, and preservation
of the local environment. By
performing these and many other projects, the students will
be gaining a respect for the environment, and will also be
achieving support in the community.
No Save What's Left member, professional
affiliate, or any member of the Save What's Left Board of Directors
has ever received any form of financial compensation for their
time or efforts. All activities are performed completely
on a volunteer basis.
Remember,
the basic premise of the organization is to educate the world
about its environmental problems through community projects,
letter writings, public speaking about problems in their community
at local city commissions. However, the coordinator exposes
the members to a collection of local and world problems. The
students then decide which projects to pursue, and to what
extent they want to direct their efforts. Members will
work harder on projects that they choose.
If people can
learn how precious our environment is while they are young,
they will grow into adults with an environmental point of view. If
these young people can understand the severity of the environmental
problems we face today, they will be capable of taking action
now and saving our planet for tomorrow.

Save What's Left
is not here to take over your organization. Rather, we
wish to enhance your effectiveness in community projects. The
name, Save What's Left, does not isolate itself to one specific
problem like "Preserving Mosquitoes" does. That
would not be a club people would be knocking down the door
to join, because not everyone cares about that problem--therefore
the club remains elite. However, if you open up the club/organization
to all areas with the name Save What's Left, and allow all
young people to identify with your organization, it will be
more functional, make more phone calls, and write more letters. Okay!
You get the point? So think about joining us! We
truly believe that as this organization expands throughout
the world it will universally unite the youth in a peaceful
environmental effort.
Remember, this is not
just a "kid thing". It's everybody’s
concern! |
