CLASS RING ALTERNATIVES

Here's some ideas. We suggest you have a meeting with other students and select one or more of these projects.

1. PROTECT-AN-ACRE in the CHOCO-ANDEAN CORRIDOR  - Get a real sense of satisfaction by sponsoring your own acre of rainforest in Ecuador.  Receive a certificate showing your support for this vital protection project. For more details, send us an email requesting more information.


2. ECOLOGICAL JEWELRY  - Look for alternatives to the class ring tradition which involve both ecological materials as well as profits that support local communities. 

HOW YOU CAN HELP: Know of any ecological jewelry?  Please submit details and we will post it here.


3. PLANT A TREE IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY - Investigate whether existing tree planting projects might already exist in your own community and help to green the neighborhoods that you live in.


4. SUPPORT ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN A RURAL VILLAGE IN ECUADOR.  - Help protect the half million acres of the Cotacachi Cayapas by raising awareness amongst school children of the importance of protecting the surrounding regions.   Your funds can help to bring school children to the National Park and bring slide shows, eco-recreational activity programs, and village nursery to their communities.
For more details, send us an email requesting more information.


5. YOUR OWN IDEAS - Submit the project that your school decides to take on, and we will print it here.
