Saving the rainforest is something that many children and adults are passionate about. Rainforests are full of rare life and plants. Every day miles of rainforests are cut down and removed forever. This project will allow students to learn more about rainforests, deforestation, and what students can do to make a difference. Students will create boxes that can be used in homes for recycling shopping bags.
