“I hope more people will start to notice that they should also follow the “3 R’s” – Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle to keep our planet a clean and healthy one. I also think that the Green Education Foundation is a great learning experience for students to know about recycling and making the world a better place.” – Mikako Murphy
