The Yorkton Regional High School took part in Earth Day this year. The school took part in various activities to emphasize the way energy is used and the way small changes can lead to a more environmentally conscious life. Shayna Kemp and Shelby McGillivray (pictured) are on the school's SRC and put together a number of ways to save energy. These include shutting off half of the lights in the school, getting teachers to cut down on paper used and encouraging car pooling among students.
Kemp says that the pair also put together different tips for each day, such as turning off the tap when brushing your teeth. "Little things can actually help, it's not just big things that make a difference." The students are planning to expand the scope of the project for next year.
