This award is meaningful to us because it shows just how much we have  accomplished in one year to make CRHS more environmentally friendly. This award is truly a team effort.

The school organized the students to promote recycling on campus, collect drink containers during advisory and place them in an Abitibi Bin for recycling. The environmental club even went so far as to transport these to HEB when our Abitibi bin was eliminated.

This would not have been possible without the continuous support of the CRHS PTSA. The PTSA raised the funds and purchased 188 classroom-recycling bins and 2 bins on wheels for collection. It also helped raise awareness to the waste generated by plastic bags and bottles and our carbon footprint through articles published in the Cougar Express and the PTSA website.
