Victoria Pan (continued from page 6) off the Lights project, in which members of the club turn off all the classroom lights every Friday after school. Not only did the efforts save money on the school’s electricity bill, but they also raised awareness in the student body. Now, they are implementing even more projects to reduce the school’s energy consumption and educate others. Pan has communicated with student leaders of schools to help them start their own initiatives. She also focused on youth engagement in the chapter by encouraging high school environmental groups to become more involved in the Sierra community. The students hope to ignite a powerful movement across the nation.
