Turn Climate Concern into Cafeteria Action
Do you wish that your school was doing something to be better stewards of our planet?
Are you concerned that so much food gets thrown away during lunch?
Are you angry that your school is still using plastic forks or styrofoam trays?Â
Do you wonder why there aren't recycling bins where you need them?
Maybe you wish you had enough time to eat lunch after waiting in the line.
Students across the nation are speaking their mind, taking action, and bringing change to their school cafeterias.Â
We invite you to join us.Â

The Climate Action Lab supports you as you practice leading real change during lunch.
Â

No simulations, no worksheets.
Leadership Practice
Students, bring your climate knowledge and practice leadership skills like organizing peers, messaging, and follow-through.
Confidence Through Doing
Taking action, even small ones, builds confidence and momentum in your ability to effect change.
